Multiply the top equation by 6 and the bottom equation by 7. You will cancel x first by doing this and solve for y. You should get y=-1.
Substitute in y for either original equation.
You should get x=1.
Solution is (1,-1).
Number???what do you want?
Answer:
(2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x coordinate is the number inside the parentheses, but with the opposite sign, 2
The y coordinate is the number at the end
False, 4-2(3+7) = -16 and 4-2•3+2•7= 12
Answer:
Cost =$3
Amount = 8 gallons and 17 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
24 + 51
Required
Simplify to show the cost and amount of gas bought by each individual
24 + 51
[Factorize]
3(8 + 17)
The above can't be factored any further.
Since the cost of gas for both individuals is the same, we can conclude the following.
Cost = $3
This is so because it applies to both numbers in brackets
Amount of Gas = 8 gallons and 17 gallons respectively by both individuals
