The number of video games in Matthew’s collection is 12

To solve the problem, we need to know what simultaneous equations are

<h3>What are simultaneous equations?</h3>

These are a pair of equations which contain two variables.

Now, let

  • x = number of video games in Matthew's collection and
  • y = number of video games in Anthony's collection.

Given that the number of video games in Anthony’s collection is 5 times the number in Matthew’s collection, we have that y = 5x (1)

Also, the total number of video games in both collections is 72.

So, x + y = 72 (2)

Substituting equation (1) into (2), we have

x + 5x = 72

6x = 72

x = 72/6

x = 12

So,  the number of video games in Matthew’s collection is 12

perpendicular: y = -3x - 3

14.

parallel: y = 4x - 1/2

perpendicular: y = -1/4x - 1/2

15.

find the cost of a car using the installment plan if the down payment is $1,500 and the monthly payments are $385 for 4 years, s
Blizzard [7]
Well, if this is assuming there is no tax on the vehicle and it is fully paid off by the end of the payments, an equation can be set up like the following. 385x+1500=C, x being months and C being total cost. 385(12*4)+1500= C, 385(48)+1500=C, 18480+1500=C, 19980=C.
