The answer should be 5 because if there were 100 it would be 20
Answer:
B.) Addition*Additive property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
You add 34 to both sides of the equation to find what x was equal to

Answer: The least share is N450000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Amount shared = N18 00000
Sharing ratio = 5:4:3
Amount shared by each child :
Total ratio = (5 + 4 + 3 )= 12
First share :
(5 / 12) × 1800000 = 750000
Second share :
(4/12) × 1800000 = 600000
Third share:
(3/12) × 1800000 = 450000
The least amount of the three shares is :
N450000
Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1
