Let's say patrick=a, paulo=b and joseph=c:

(1) a+b+c=68
(2) a+2=b
(3) b=2c

substituting (2) in (1) gives:

(4) 2a + c = 66 => a = 33 - c/2

(3) in (2) gives:

(5) a+2=2c

(4) in (5):

33 - c/2 + 2 = 2c => 35 = 2.5c => c=14

Joseph got 14 oranges!

the system of equatuions 2y = 14 - 2x and y= -x+7 is graphed. what is the solution to the system of equations
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the solution is the whole line y = -x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

both equations are identical

2y = 14 - 2x

=> y = 7 - x

which is exactly the same information as y=-x+7

so, there is no single crossing point. they are exactly covering each other. what "remains" is simply the whole line.
