X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD
3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:
3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.
Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:
3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
The answer is a (three eights over three fifths= five eights)
m=69 miles
you can find this because if you divide the 9 by 6 as they are matching sides you get 1.5, take that number and multiply it by the 46 and get the 69! hope that helps :D
-3b=-9. Plug in 3. -3(3)=-9.
