Answer:
2x + 4y = 4
-8x + 8y = -16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find an equivalent system by multiply the 2 equations by 2.
x + 2y = 2 multiplied by 2 is 2x + 4y = 4.
Answer:
8a + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Distributive property: a(b +c) = a*b + a*c
Here a = 8 ; b= a & c = 3
8(a + 3) = 8*a + 8*3
= 8a + 24
Assume the smaller one is x, then the other ones will be x+2 and x+4
x(x+2) + 2 = 5(x+4)
x^2 + 2x - 5x - 18 = 0
-> x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0
-> (x-6)(x+3) = 0
-> x = 6 or -3, since x must be positive, then x = 6
So the numbers are: 6, 8, 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to say that:
Mary's amount is x.
Ashley's amount is y.
Oscar's amount is z.
Mary has at least 3 times the amount of cash that ashley and oscar have combined
Ashley's and Oscar's combined amount is y + z.
3 times this amount is 3(y + z).
At least 3 times means that z is equal or greater than 3(y + z).
So
Answer:
2 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/4 + 1/3
First, you have to make the bottoms of the fraction the same, by figuring out the lowest common denominator. In this case it would be 12. 4x3 = 12. 3x4 = 12.
Multiply the top number by the same number you multiplied the bottom by.
We multiplied the 4 by 3, so we would also multiply the 2 by 3 (which would be 6).
Do the same for the second fraction. 1x4 = 4.
Now we have 2 6/12 + 4/12. We add the top numbers together and we get 10/12.
Now we have to reduce the fractions. We can do this in this situation by just dividing the top and bottom numbers by 2.
2 5/6
