Answer:
m = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
5(m+5)=7m+9 (distribute & evaluate parenthesis)
5(m)+5(5)=7m+9
5m + 25 = 7m + 9 (move all m-terms to one side and constants to the other)
5m - 7m = 9 - 25 (evaluate both sides)
-2m = -16 (divide both sides by -2)
m = (-16) / ( -2) = 8
Answer:
a: 162
b: 142
Step-by-step explanation:
a: december 1=2
a: december 2=6
a: december 3 = 6 x 3 = 18
a: december 4 = 18 x 3 =54
a: december 5 = 54 x 3 =162
~ triples the number of newspapers means "x3" ~
so on the last day, 162 newspapers
B: sum up all the newspapers:
2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162
= 8 + 18 + 54 + 162
= 26 + 54 + 162
= 80 + 162
= 242 all in total newspapers
Answer:
(3,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Collect like terms
y -5x = -9
y + 2x = 12
Using elimination method
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1
y - 5x = -9
y + 2x = 12
---------------
0. -7x = -21
Divide both sides by -7
-7x = -21
---- -----
-7 -7
x = 3
Substitute x=3 into equation 1
y = 5(3) - 9
y = 15 - 9
y = 6
Solution is (x,y) = (3,6)
Using the Distributive Property
The answer would be 3.
2 *4x = 8x and 2 * 3 = 6, to get 8x 6
