Answer:Zöe set up an equation that would translate to “twice the number of 30 second ads = the number of 60 second ads.” She should have used
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this is what you are looking for
We have 7 people which result ----> 7 * <u />2 = <u>14 legs</u>
Also, the table has <u>4 legs</u>
The number of the big cats is 7 *7 =49 (big cats)
For every big cat we have ---> 49 * 4= <u>196 legs</u>
For every big cat we have 7 small cats which means --> 49 * 7= 343 (small kittens)
The number of legs for small kittens is 343 * 4 = <u>1372 legs</u>
The number of legs is:
<u />
<u>14+4+196+1372= 1586 legs are in total</u>
Since one equation has a negative y and the other has a positive y, I'm going to use those since they cancel each other out. Before that, the two y's need to be equal to each other.
x+2y=6
x-y=3
Multiply the bottom equation by two so then you have:
x+2y=6
2x-2y=6
The y's now cancel out:
x=6
2x=6
Add them together
3x=12
Divide
x=4.
To find y, plug x into either equation (*don't have to do both, but I will)
(4)+2y=6
(4)-y=3
Subtract four
2y=2
-y=-1
Divide each
2y/2 = 2/2
y=1
-y/-1 = -1/-1
y=1
The answer is:
x=4
y=1
I hope that helps!
