You have to translate the statement into a mathematical expression...

Six times the number of cattle, if we let c be the number of cattle is:

6c

Less 87 means to subtract 87 so

6c-87

is 999 means

=999

so all together we have:

6c-87=999  now we need to isolate the variable by itself on one side of the equal sign....

6c-87=999  add 87 to both sides

6c=1086  divide both sides by 6

c=181

So there are 181 cattle.

Mark and peter went to an arcade where the machines took tokens. Marilk played 9 games of ping pong and 5 games of pinball, usin
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

9x + 5y = 29 ........... (1) and

3x + y = 7 ........... (2)

Each game of ping pong requires 1 number of token and each game of pinball requires 4 number of tokens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, each game of ping pong requires x number of tokens and each game of pinball requires y number of tokens.

So, from the given conditions we can write

9x + 5y = 29 ........... (1) and

3x + y = 7 ........... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

9x + 5(7 - 3x) = 29

⇒ 35 - 6x = 29

⇒ 6x = 6

⇒ x = 1 token.

Now, putting x = 1 in equation (2) we get,

3 + y = 7

⇒ y = 4 tokens.

So, each game of ping pong requires 1 number of token and each game of pinball requires 4 number of tokens. (Answer)

Enter values for a and b, so that the system of equation shown has one solution y=3x+4 and y=ax+b a=? b=?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

a = 3 and b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent Equations

Lines intersect

One solution

In this case the two equations describe lines that intersect at one particular point. Clearly this point is on both lines, and therefore its coordinates (x, y) will satisfy the equation of either line. Thus the pair (x, y) is the one and only solution to the system of equations. One solution is called "consistent". This shows two distinct non-parallel lines that cross at exactly one point. This is called an "independent" system of equations, and the solution is always some x, y-point.
