Answer:

w= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w, we need to get w by itself. To solve, do the opposite of what is being done, and whatever is done to one side, needs to be done to the other.

30 = –6w + 12

First, subtract 12 from both sides, since it is being added

30-12= -6w +12-12

18= -6w

Divide both sides by -6, since it is being multiplied

18/-6= -6w/-6

The -6s on the right cancel, and we are left with

-3= w

What is the solution (x,y) to the system of equations below? -2x = 4y +6 2(2y+3) = 3x - 5

mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 2x = 4y + 6 → (1)

2(2y + 3) = 3x - 5 → (2)

Distribute left side of (2)

4y + 6 = 3x - 5 → (2)

Substitute 4y + 6 = - 2x into (2)

- 2x = 3x - 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

- 2(1) = 4y + 6

- 2 = 4y + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 8 = 4y ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = - 2

Solution is (1, - 2 ) → B

Brad sold candy bars and cookies for a fundraiser at school. Candy bars sold for $3, and cookies sold for $5. He sold a total of

kari74 [83]

Answer: First option

12 candy bars were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the amount of candy sold and call z the amount of cookies sold. Then we know that

$x + z = 20$

We also know that candy bars sell for $ 3 and cookies sell for $ 5. The profit was $ 76

So:

$3x + 5z = 76$

To find the quantity of candy bars sold we must solve the system of equations:

$x + z = 20\\\\3x + 5z = 76$

Multiply the first equation by -5 and add it to the second equation

$-5x -5z = -100$

$3x + 5z = 76$

--------------------------------

$-2x = -24\\\\x = 12$

Bas_tet [7]

We have been given that a culture of bacteria has an initial population of 22,000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula $P(t) = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}}$ , where P(t) is the population after t hours, $P_0$ is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time.
