11m-6m = 22+8
5m = 30
m = 6
Hope I helped :)
I am pretty sure this is how you do it! Hope this helps!
So the first thing we need to do is set up an equation (using x to represent the number). Then, we'll solve it to get the answer.
Step 1: Translate the word problem into an equation
Word problem: The sum of nine and six-tenths and a number is thirteen and two-tenths.
Equation: + x =
Step 2: Isolate x by subtracting from each side
+ x - = -
Step 3: The numbers on the left cancel out, leaving x alone
x =
Step 4: Convert the answer to decimals
x = 3.6
I would love to use substitution (It is simplier that way I guess)
solve your system of equations.
x+2y=−1;x−y=5
Solve x+2y=−1 for x:
x+2y+−2y=−1+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)
x=−2y−1
Substitute (−2y−1) for x in x−y=5:
x−y=5
−2y−1−y=5
−3y−1=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−3y−1+1=5+1(Add 1 to both sides)
−3y=6
−3y/−3 = 6/−3(Divide both sides by -3)
y=−2
Substitute (−2) for y in x=−2y−1:
x=−2y−1
x=(−2)(−2)−1
x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
So the answer is (x = 3 and y = -2)
