Use elimination method - I am eliminaing the y-variable.
1(5x + 8y = 16) → 5x + 8y = 16
4(6x - 2y = 54) → 24x - 8y = 216
Add equations: 29x = 232
Divide by 29: x = 8
Answer: x = 8
Remember you said the scale shows you 10% heavier.
So that's an increase of 10%
So value = 10% + 100% = 110%
So scale would show 110% of 82
110% of 82
= (110/100) * 82
= 1.1 * 82
= 90.2
OR
We can simply find 10% of 82 and add it to the original 82.
10% of 82
(10/100) * 82
0.1 * 82 = 8.2
8.2 + 82 = 90.2 Same answer as before.
So scale shows 90.2 kg.
Answer:
30x - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
6(5x - 3)
<em>Distribute the 6 to both monomials.</em>
6 * 5x = 30x
6 * -3 = -18
<em>Combine both final monomials.</em>
30x - 18
