Answer: B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by elimination.
4x−2y=8;−2x+2y=6
Add these equations to eliminate y:
4x-2y=8
-2x+2y=6
2x=14
Substitute 7 for x in 4x−2y=8:
(4)(7)−2y=8
−2y+28=8 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
−2y+28+−28=8+−28 (Add -28 to both sides)
−2y=−20
−2y/−2=−20/−2 (Divide both sides by -2)
y=10
Answer:
A. A tennis tournament in which after each round, half the players are eliminated.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of weeks.
60 + 7x = 120
60 - 60 + 7x = 120 - 60
7/7x = 60/7
x = 8.571428571
So she had x oranges
she put the oranges into p boxes with 3 in each box and had 2 left so
total=3 times p+2 or
total=3p+2
Simplify brackets
351 = y * 8 + 7
Regroup terms
351 = 8y + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides
351 - 7 = 8y
Simplify 351 - 7 to 344
344 = 8y
Divide both sides by 8
344/8 = y
Simplify 344/8 to 43
43 = y
Switch sides
<u>y = 43</u>
