Answer:
x = -13/5
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number
8x + 6 = 3x - 7
move variables to left and numbers to right
8x - 3x = - 7 -6
5x = -13
x = -13/5
5x + 10 10
---------- = -------
121 11
make the bottom have same common denominator
10/11 x (10/10) = 100/121
Get rid of the denominator (for both now have 121 as a base)
5x + 10 = 100
5x + 10 (-10) = 100 (-10)
5x = 90
5x/5 = 90/5
x = 18
x = 18 is your answer
hope this helps
i would say c is the best answer or the 3rd one
Answer:
Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ages be j and d.
j = d + 5
j + d = 27
Substitute d + 5 for j in the second equation.
d + 5 + d = 27
2d + 5 = 27
2d = 22
d = 11
Substitute 11 for d in the first equation.
j = d + 5
j = 11 + 5
j = 16
Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.
Standard form of a linear equation is
Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.
Add 3 to both sides to get
4x + 4y = 3
