Given:

Find the method .
Sol:

2eq(1) + eq(2) then,

Then apply the elimination method.
Answer:
Yes, that is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
a would always have to be greater than b since you're just multiplying each variable by itself.
Simplify -5x + 12 - 7x to -12x + 12
-12x + 12 = -3(5x + 8)
Expand
-12x + 12 = -15x - 24
Add 15x to both sides
-12x + 12 + 15x = -24
Simplify 12x + 12 + 15x to 3x + 12
3x + 12 = -24
Subtract 12 from both sides
3x = -24 - 12
Simplify -24 - 12 to -36
3x = -36
Divide both sides by 3
x = -36/3
Simplify 36/3 to 12
<u>x = -12</u>
15:24
divide both sides by 3
b. 5:8
for 6:30
divide both sides by 6
1:5
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 10 red candies, 18 green candies, 9 yellow candies, and 13 brown candies.
10 + 18 + 9 + 13 = 50.
There is a total of 50 candies. Out of the 50 candies, 18 are green.
You have to get to 250 .That means you do 
250 divided by 50 = 5.
18 x 5 = 90.
Therefore, she can expect 90 green candies
