Mathematics

rewona [7]3 years ago

**plug in the first equation into the y of the next.

3x + 1 = 5x - 3
-1 from both sides
3x = 5x -4
-5x from both sides
-2x = -4
divide both sides by negative 2

x= 2

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Train A = 128

Train B = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations for this problem

Let A = # of tons of Train A

Let B = # of tons of Train B

A + B = 196

A = B + 60

Now, we plug in A for the first equation, using substitution

(B+60) + B = 196

2B + 60 = 196

Subtract 60 from both sides

2B = 136

Divide both sides by 2

B = 68

Plug in 68 for B in the 2nd equation

A = 68 + 60

A = 128

Checking work: 128 + 68 = 196 :D hope this helped

The average sunflower has 34 petals. What is the best estimate of the total number of petals on 57 sunflowers?
stellarik [79]
Your initial instinct would be to solve this problem with this solution. 34 x 57 = 1,938 petals.

However, the word estimate is present; therefore, we have to consider that we need to get the approximate number and not the exact number of petals.

There is a general rule regarding estimation or approximation. You have to round it to the nearest place you have based on. In this problem we round it off to the nearest tens place.

If the number is below 5, you round it down: 34 is rounded down to 30 petals.

If the number is above 5, you round it up: 57 is rounded up to 60 sunflowers.

Thus, your equation would be :  30 x 60 = 1,800 petals (best estimate)

108 = ( x)(48-x)
108 = 48x - x^2
48x -x^2 -108 = 0

I'm assuming you're doing solve the square right now, so you should be able to do the rest.
