5x+3y=-9
-2x+y=8
The first step is the trickery (and quite frankly, hardest to explain) part. You need to multiply one equation by a number that will create one variable to be the negative version of the other...(Confusing, right? Don't worry, I'll show you)
We are going to solve for X first.
We will multiply the second equation by -3
5x+3y=-9
-3(-2x+y)=(-3)8
Now simplify:
5x+3y= -9
6x-3y= -24
Now combine the two equations (add them together)
11x= -33
Divide by 11
X=-3
Now plug X in to one of the first equations:
5(-3)+3y= -9
-15+3y =-9
3Y= 6
Y= 2
So your final answer is:
x= -3
Y= 2
Hope this helps!
Let a,b & c be the number of cookies Adrian, Bobby and Calvin baked respectively.
(a+b+c)/3 =138
(a+b)/2 =136
a+b=272
a=272-b
(b+c)/2 =125
b+c=250
c=250-b
Sub a=272-b and c=250-b into (a+b+c)/3 =138,
(a+b+c)/3 =138
[(272-b)+b+(250-b)]/3 = 138
272-b+b+250-b = 414
-b = -108
b=108
From the above,
a=272-b
=272-108
a=164
c=250-b
=250-108
c=142
∵ a=164
b=108
c=142
∴ Adrian baked 164 cookies.
Bobby baked 108 cookies.
Calvin baked 142 cookies.
Answer:
1st one is 2. 2nd one is 5. 3rd one is less than. 4th one is, is smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
( -4/3, 11/9) correct me if i’m wrong
Answer:
let m be minutes, p be pages
pages read = times(in minutes) * reading speed(pages per minutes)
p=m*(60/20)
p=3m
For every increase of a minute of reading time, pages that Wesly have read will increase by 3
