Answer: 8 turns
Step-by-step explanation: 5 children at a time, so 5*8=40, which is the closest to 38
to find the area of a rectangle is LxW=A
plug in the given numbers you have
L = 7
W = x-8
A = 42
7 * x-8 = 42
7x-56= 42
solve for X
Answer:
You could use the equation y = mx + b to solve this problem. The m would equal 7.5 and the be would be zero, so the equation would be y = 7.5x + 0. Add values for x and you would get y.
Answer:
(1,-2) and (0,-5) (There are an infinite amount more)
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to find solutions is to plug in an x value. Let's try 1:
y = 3(1) - 5⇒y = 3 - 5⇒y = -2
(1,-2)
Let's try 0:
y = 3(0) - 5⇒y = 0 - 5 ⇒y = -5
(0,-5)
Step 1: subtract x from -3. New equation should be y=-3-x.
Step 2: plug that equation into top equation. Should be 5x + 2(-3-x) = 9.
Step 3: use distribitive properties on 2(-3-x). New equation is 5x - 6 - 2x = 9.
Step 4: combine like terms. New equation 3x - 6 = 9.
Step 5: work it out. Divide 3x and 9 by 3. New equation is x - 6 = 3. Add 6 to -6 and 9. Final eqaution is x = 9.
Step 6: swap 9 for x in second equation. New equation is 9 + y = -3
Step 7: subtract 9 from 9 and -3. New equation is y = -12
: = = -
