From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10
Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
"the following" of what? I think you are missing the list
Answer:
6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
First, since they all collected 510, you divide 510 by 5, to figure out how much each person got.
You then know that each of them got 102 candies, so now, you subtract 12 from from 102, since the teacher gave them that much in the beginning.
You're left with 90, so last step is to divide 90 by 15, since they collect 15 every hour, which you get left with 6. Meaning they collected candies for 6 hours
3x^2 - 12 = 0
Personally, I would divide each side by 3 x^2 - 4 = 0
Then I would add 4 to each side x^2 = 4
Then I would take the square root of each side: x = +4
x = -4 .
Having found both solutions, I would relax with a cup of tea.
The answer would be A. Hope this helped! :)
