(3)(-5x+y=-3)
(5)(3x-8y=24)
-15x+3y=-9
15x-40y=120
3y=-9
-40y=120
-37y=111
Divide both sides by -37
y=-3
To solve for x. Choose one equation from the given and plug what you get in Y.
I'll choose, -5x+y=-3
So, -5x+(-3)=-3
-5x=0
Divide both sides by -5
x=0/-5
Hope, this helps.
Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it. We can call it anything. I'd like to call it ' G '.
The number we're looking for is ' G '.
Half of it is 1/2 G
The sum of that and 6 is 1/2 G + 6
Ten times that is 10 (1/2 G + 6)
The question says that's 8.
So 10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8
Divide each side by 10 : 1/2 G + 6 = 0.8
Subtract 6 from each side: 1/2 G = - 5.2
Multiply each side by 2 : G = - 10.4
That seems like a weird answer. We should check it.
The number: -10.4
Half the number: - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6: -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum: 8
Yep ! By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is - 10.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
12.4
you have to multiply 1 5/9 times 8
0.1846 as a fraction=1846\10000
Answer:
94 boxes of samoas
131 boxes of thin mints
Step-by-step explanation:
m=mints
s=samoas
s+m=225 m=225-s
s(2.5)+m(3)=628
2.5s+3m=628
substitute for m
2.5s+3(225-s)=628
2.5s+675-3s=628
reduce
-0.5s=-47
s=94
m=131
