Y = x-4

2x + y = 5
2x + (x-4) = 5
3x - 4 = 5
3x = 9
x = 3

Substitution is done by replacing a variable for an equation. In this case:

2x+y=5
would be
2x+(x-4)=5 (If you notice, you see that the value of x was replaced in the main equation)

Then you would solve as normal.

2x+x-4=5
3x-4=5
3x=9
x=3

Then we can plug in x for any one of the equations to find y.
y=x-4
y=3-4
y=-1

So the solution is x=3 and y=-1.

Find the value of x.
Leona [35]

This is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, at the base we have congruent angles (look at the picture).

We have the equation:

(5x + 13)° + (3x + 7)° = 180°

5x + 13 + 3x + 7 = 180    <em>combine like terms</em>

(5x + 3x) + (13 + 7) = 180

8x + 20 = 180     <em>subtract 20 from both sides</em>

8x = 160      <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

<h3>x = 20</h3>

1/3 cup of flour is used to make 5 dinner rolls.
Radda [10]
Divide.

1/3 / 5

Or multiply by the reciprocal of 5:

1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15

Therefore 1/15 cup of flour is used to make 1 dinner roll.

We can set up a proportion:

5/1/3 = x/5 2/3

Multiply 5 2/3 to both sides:

28 1/3 / 1/3 = x

85 = x

So 85 rolls can be made with 5 2/3 cups of flour.
