Answer:
11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the level of ground level be g
On first day, amount of snow melted by 3 inches
So, level of ground melted= (g- 3) inches
Next day, amount of snow melted by 8 inches
So, level of ground level melted = (g- 3-8 )inches
Hence, total change in the ground level = ( g- 11) inches
Hence, amount of snow on ground level melted by 11 inches
Hence, the correct answer is 11 inches
You would subtract how many times Dion tagged bill with how many times bill tagged Dion, so 12 - 7 = 5
Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.
