How do you solve this system of equations using the addition method:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
;
5
x
+

x
=
−

,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26
13
x
13
=
−
26
13
x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4
−
8
−
y
=
−
4
y
=
−
8
+
4
y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=
−

There are 9 whole numbers in between 20 and 30
Answer: 11 hours and 25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she left at 7:10 am you can add 50 minutes and you will get 8, then all the way to 6 pm is 10 hours. Now you just have 50 and 35 minutes that you havent added to the total yet so when you add those two together you get 85. But there isnt 85 minutes in a hour so you would have yo break it down and you would get 1 hour and 25 minutes. Add 1 hour and 25 minutes to 10 hours and you get 11 hours and 25 minute. I hope that helps!
Sorry if you didnt under stand my explanation.
1/2 dozen pencils in 1/3 box
what about 1 dozen
we cross miltiply this to get
1/3*2=2/3
doing the same for all the questions we get
1/4*5/4=5/20
3/4*5/3=15/12
3/10*12/7=18/35
To find the total cost multiply $12 x 180 square feet
