A) c + t = 60
B) 3c = 7t
Multiplying A) by -3
A) -3c + -3t = -180 then adding this to b
B) 3c = 7t
180 = 10t
trucks = 18
cars = 42
Answer:
x= -59
Step-by-step explanation:
x-31=-90
Adding 31 to both sides we get
x-31+31=-90+31
x=-59
Answer:
First number is -2.5
Second number 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.
To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2
Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.
To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10
4x - 3y = 2
2x + 3y =10
4x - 2x = 2x
2x = -5
x= -2.5
The first number is -2.5
By using Substitution
2x + 3y = 10
2(-2.5) + 3y = 10
-5 + 3y = 10
3y = 10 +5
3y =15
y = 5
The second number is 5
....To check my answer
-5 + 15 = 10
Answer:
x=0
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+3)=2x+6, substituting the first equation in the second
2x+6=2x+6, rearranging the equations
2x-2x=6-6
0=0
y=0+3
y=3
