Ciara brought $240 to spend on gifts for her family. she found 8 identical statues at the gift shop. she had $72 leftover. how much did each statue cost? please tell me the equation for it
also do it in algebra

$22.25

Step-by-step explanation:

240 - 72 = 178

178 is total spent.

178 divided by 8 = 22.25

Each statue cost $22.25.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^

also you might actually want to put this picture up if you want people to solve it luckily i remember this question
