A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
20÷4=5 so 16÷4=4 :))
Hope that helps.

I would love to use substitution (It is simplier that way I guess)
solve your system of equations.
x+2y=−1;x−y=5
Solve x+2y=−1 for x:
x+2y+−2y=−1+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)
x=−2y−1
Substitute (−2y−1) for x in x−y=5:
x−y=5
−2y−1−y=5
−3y−1=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−3y−1+1=5+1(Add 1 to both sides)
−3y=6
−3y/−3 = 6/−3(Divide both sides by -3)
y=−2
Substitute (−2) for y in x=−2y−1:
x=−2y−1
x=(−2)(−2)−1
x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
So the answer is (x = 3 and y = -2)
Answer:
4sqrt(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is equilateral, the hypotenuse is 2x
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
x^2 + 12^2 = (2x)^2
x^2 + 144 = 4x^2
144 = 4x^2 -x^2
144 = 3x^2
48 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(48) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(16*3) = x
4 sqrt(3) =x
