Answer:y = y = (32 - 6x)/(7 - x)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute -> 7y - 56 + 24 = xy - 6x
2. Add Like Terms -> 7y - 32 = xy - 6x
3. Collect Like Terms -> 7y - xy = 32 - 6x
4. Factor Out the "y" -> y(7 - x) = 32 - 6x
5. Divide Out the Left "x" -> y = (32 - 6x)/(7 - x)
hey thanks for the point's i really needed them.. Cheers!
many
Since 6 lbs of apples cost $12, 1 lb will cost $2.
8 times 2 = 16
8 lbs of apples cost $16
hope this helps!!
Let's set up an equation.
smaller number = x
larger number = 2x - 5
Now set up the equation so that the larger number plus the smaller number adds up to 43.
x + 2x - 5 = 43
3x - 5 = 43 ( I added the x and 2x)
3x = 48 ( I added 5 to both sides)
x = 16 (I divided both sides by 3)
Now let's check it. Substitute 16 for every time there is an x.
16 + 2(16) - 5 = 43
16 + 32 - 5 = 43
48 - 5 = 43
43 = 43
It checks. x is equal to 16, so that means:
smaller number = 16
larger number = 27
Hope this helps =)
