Alright, so we have
<span>-9x+6y=-30
</span><span>-12x+9y=-30

Although we might really want to say -9x+6y=-12x+9y, we can't do it that way. We have to get rid of a variable and go from there. Solving for y, we get
</span>-9x+6y=-30
Divide both sides by 3
-3x+2y=-10
Add 3x to both sides
2y=-10+3x
Divide both sides by 2
y=(-10+3x)/2

-12x+9y=-30
Divide both sides by 3
-4x+3y=-10
Add 4x to both sides
-10+4x=3y
Divide both sides by 3
(-10+4x)/3=y

Since we have
(-10+4x)/3=y and y=(-10+3x)/2 , we have
(-10+4x)/3=(-10+3x)/2
Since 3*2=6, we can multiply both sides by 6
-20+8x=-30+9x
Add 30 to both sides
10+8x=9x
Subtract 8x from both sides
x=10
Plug that in to any equation,and you should have your answer! Good luck, and ask if you have any questions!

over a season in a women's basketball league jackson scored 41 more points than the second highest scorer leslie. Together they

vlabodo [156]

First, you know that Jackson (let call her J) scored 41 more points than L (Leslie). What we don't know is how many points L scored so we can use a variable that will be 'x'.
So the equation will be J=41+x.
We also know that the total points is 1,189.
To find out what x is we first subtract 1,189-41. We then get 1,148.
We are now left with 2x and 1,148 so we divide 1,148 by 2 and get 574.
574=x so now we can plug that in.
J= 574+41
Jackson scored 615 points and Leslie scored 574 points

Tom has a large photo he wants to shrink to wallet-sized. It's width is 20 centimeters and it's len is 30 centimeters. If he wan

We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?

We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2

20 : 30 = 5 : x

We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)

20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm
