Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression;
5x+2y=67 ...1
x=3y−7 ....2
Substitute 2 into 1
5(3y-7)+2y = 67
15y - 35 + 2y = 67
17y = 67+35
17y = 102
y = 102/17
y =6
Recall that x = 3y - 7
x = 3(6) - 7
x = 18 - 7
x = 11
Hence the value of x is 11
-4 is greater look at number line
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
–2(3x – 1) = –6x – 1
First distribute the left side
-6x + 2 = -6x - 1
Add 1 to both sides
-6x + 3 = -6x
Add 6x to both sides
3 = 0
This equation is not true because 3 does NOT equal 0. Therefor, this equation has no solutions.
Answer:12
Step-by-step explanation:
The prime factorization of 84 is 2×2×3×7 . The prime factorization of 48 is 2×2×2×2×3 . . Therefore, the GCF is 2×2×3=12
After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
