<span> Jan, Maya and Sarah run a total of 64 miles per week
How many miles did Sarah run if she ran less than 8 miles compare to Maya and Jan
Jan and Maya = x
Sarah = x
Total miles = 64

=> 64 = x + x + x-8
=> 64 = 3x – 8
=> 72 = 3x
=> x = 24
Since Jan and Maya ran the same miles, they ran 24 miles each
Since Sarah is 8 less than Maya’s and Jan’s ran each
=> x – 8
=> 24 -8
=> 16
Sarah ran 16 miles in a week.

Solve the systems by the addition method x - 2y = - 4 2x + y = 7
vfiekz [6]
<h2>x - 2y = -4</h2><h2>2x + y = 7</h2><h2 />

To solve this system of equations by addition, our first goal is to cancel

out one of the variables by adding the two equations together.

However, if we add these two equations together right away, nothing

will cancel so we need to set things up so a variable will cancel.

Notice that we have an 2x in our second equation.

If we had a -2x in our first equation, then the x's would cancel out.

In order to create a -2x in the first equation, we simply

multiply both sides of the first equation by -2.

So we have (-2)(x - 2y) = (-4)(-2) which can be rewritten as -2x + 4y = 8.

Now rewrite both equations, as shown below.

<h2>-2x + 4y = 8</h2><h2>2x + y = 7</h2><h2 />

Now when we add the equations together, the x terms

will cancel out and we're left with 5y = 15.

Dividing both sides by 5, <em>y = 3</em>.

To solve for x, plug a 3 in for y in either one of our 2 original equations.

So let's go with our second equation.

Plugging a 3 in for y, we get 2x + (3) = 7.

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get 2x = 4.

Dividing both sides by 2, we fid that <em>x = 2</em>.

Since x = 2 and y = 3, our answer is the ordered pair (2, 3).

The sum of an integer and 6 is twice as big as the number itself. What is the integer?Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will bra
laila [671]

Answer: The integer is +6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because it say TWICE so double that and 6 added twice is 12.

SO the integer is 6 not -6 because they would cancel out and you would end up with a 0
