Answer:
10 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
a + 2b = 46
A + 2(b+8) = 46
b + 2b + 16 = 46
3b+ 16 = 46
3b = 30
b = 10
That’s the first number.
b is 10 so a is 10+8 = 18 because it’s 8 more then the other number.
b + 2a = 46
(10) + 2(18) = 46
10 + 36 = 46
46 = 46
Answer:
the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
the others don't make any sense and also the first one's the only one that's in inequality form.
We can let x be the number of boxes sold for the first week. We can as well express the number of boxes for the second and third week through x using the statements provided.
Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:
first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)
Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have
x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104
We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218
Answer:
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218
Answer:
(- 1, 4 ) and (2, 7 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x² + 3 → (1)
y = x + 5 → (2)
Substitute y = x² + 3 into (2)
x² + 3 = x + 5 ← subtract x + 5 from both sides
x² - x - 2 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
Substitute these values into (2) for corresponding values of y
x = 2 : y = 2 + 5 = 7 ⇒ (2, 7 )
x = - 1 : y = - 1 + 5 = 4 ⇒ (- 1, 4 )
