Let "x" be the mystery number
A product of 4 and this number = 4x
Six less that that = subtracting six from 4x
So the final equation is
4x-6=5
P.S.: x = 2.75
Answer:
450 ml.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of water drank by Alla and y be the amount of water drank by Balla.
We have been given that Alla and Balla together drink 750 ML of water. We can represent this information as:
We are also told that Alla drinks 50% more than Balla. We can represent this information as:
From equation (1) we will get,
Upon substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

Upon distributing 1.5 to right hand side of the equation we will get,

Upon adding 1.5x to both sides of equation we will get,


Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2.5.

Therefore, Alla drank 450 ml of water.
Ok Skylar what is (this)?
Answer:x = 1
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as
3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.
Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
6x - 10y = - 4
6x + 3y = 9
Subtracting, it becomes
- 13y = - 13
y = - 13/- 13 = 1
The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.
Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes
2x + 1 = 3
2x = 3 - 1 = 2
x = 2/2 = 1
