X = unknown number
10x - 16 = 2x
Subtract 10x from both sides to isolate the variable on the right side of the equation.
-16 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8 to get x alone.
2 = x

Solve the system using elimination.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x+7y=22,

x-7y=-17

We need to use elimination method to solve the and simplify the equations.

Solution;

Let x+7y=22 ⇒ equation 1

Also Let 4x-7y=-17⇒ equation 2

Now by solving the equation we get;

first we will Add equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(x+7y)+(4x-7y)=22+(-17)\\\\x+7y+4x-7y=22-17\\\\5x=5

Now Dividing  both side by 5 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{5}{5}\\\\x=1

Now Substituting the vale of x in equation 1 we get;

x+7y=22\\\\1+7y=22

subtracting both side by 1 using subtraction property of equality we get;

1+7y-1=22-1\\\\7y=21

Now Dividing  both side by 7 using division property of equality we get;

\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{21}{7}\\\\y=3

Hence we can say that, After simplifying we get (x,y) as (1,3).

At a baseball game, 6 hotdogs cost $27. What is the cost of 1 hotdog? How many hotdogs can you buy for $18
Sergio [31]

Answer:

What is the cost of 1 hotdog?

Answer: $4.50

How many hotdogs can you buy for $18?

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If $27 can buy you 6 hot dogs, to find the cost of one, we just divide.

27 divided by 6 = 4.5 ($4.50)

So 1 hotdog costs $4.50

If 1 hotdog is $4.50, and we want to know how much we can buy for $18, then we divide again.

18 divided by 4.5 = 4

So for $18, we can buy 4 hotdogs
