X+y=-1
3x-y=21
add them equations
x+y=-1
<u>3x-y=21 +</u>
4x+0y=20
4x=20
divide by 4
x=5
x+y=-1
5+y=-1
minus 5 both sides
y=-6
(x,y)
(5,-6)
D is answer
Answer:
the smallest number is the lower bound and the largest number is the upper bound, your inequality would be
8.2 ≤ x ≤ 9.5, where x represents the volume of tennis balls.
Well, solve for x.
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
So, there is only one solution: 1/2
The answer to your question is 1 7/12
I also think the answer is D, who else agrees with me? Btw, thank you for posting this question. I enjoy answering fun things sometimes.
