The number of apples in the basket are; 24 apples

<h3>How to simplify simultaneous equations?</h3>

Let there be X number of apples and Y number of oranges.

Thus by the given ratio we can say that;

x/y = 3/8   -----(1)

(x — 1)/y = 1/3

3x — 3 = y   ----(2)

Substitute 3x - 3 for y in eq 1 to get;

x/(3x - 3) = 3/8

8x = 9x - 9

9x - 8x = 9

x = 9

Thus;

y = 3(9) - 3

y = 24 apples

An integer is three more than another integer. Twice the larger integer is two less
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The integers are 4 and 7 or -2 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a system of equations with the description of the two integers.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2x + 2 = y^2

The simplest and the fastest way to solve this system in this case is substitution. You can substitute x for y + 3 in the second equation.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2(y + 3) + 2 = y^2

Now simplify and solve the second one. For convenience, I will just disregard the first equation for now.

2y + 6 + 2 = y^2

y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0

You can factor this equation to solve for y.

(y - 4) (y + 2) = 0

y = 4, y = -2

Now we can substitute the value of y for x in the first equation.

x = 7, x = 1

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

All are 63

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1 = 180 - 117 = 63 (linear pair)

m∠2 = 63 (alternate interior angle with ∠1)

m∠3 = m∠1 = 63 (isosceles triangle property)

Hope it helps :)
