Answer:
12.66666 infinity or 38/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parentheses first so 5-2 is 3... then multiply so then 12... 12+32-6 is 38. 38 over 3 is 12.6666 infinity or 38/3, cannot be simplified...
Answer:
x= -3 and y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
so basically what you are trying to do is reduce into finding x and y
what you do is you want to find a number to multiply one of the equations in order to get the same x or y value does not matter which
so,...
we can do
either 20x or 15y
we will go with the smallest 15y
so for both equations multiply the whole thing by 5 for the first equation and by 3 for the second
5 x 5x+3y=3 --> 1
3 x 4x+5y=18 --> 2
we then get
25x+15y = 15 -->1
12x + 15y = 54 -->2
then now that you have the same Y values you can subtract ! which cancels out both the 15y
25x+15y = 15 -->1
- 12x + 15y = 54 -->2
13x =-39
so now x=-3 and all you have to do with x = -3 is sub this into either one of the equations that you started with !
x = -3
5(-3) +3y =3
-15 + 3y = 3
3y = 3+15
3y=18
y = 6!
1. Let's call the number of carter school: "x" and "y" the number of alternative school. Then, you have that:
- T<span>he number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools.
</span> - T<span>here are 48 charter schools in the country.
2. So, you have:
x=2y-4 (i)
x=48 (ii)
3. Then, when you substitute x=48 into the equation (i), you obtain:
</span>
x=2y-4
<span> 48=2y-4
4. Now, you must clear "y, as below:
48+4=2y
2y=52
y=52/2
y=26
</span><span>
How many alternative schools are in the county?
</span><span>
The answer is: There are 26 alternative schools.</span>
