2x+y=3 3x-y =17 use substitution

X = 4
y = -5

2x+y = 3(number 1) and 3x-y = 17 (number 2)

Number 1 multiplied by 2 = 4x + 2y = 6 (equation 3)
Number 2 multiplied by 2 = 6x - 2y = 34 (equation 4)
Now we do equation 4 + equation 3. This leaves us with 10x and 0y = 40.
10x =40 so, x= 4.
Now we substitute this into the original equations.
8 + y = 3 and 12 - y =17.
We know that 12 + 5 = 17 and two negatives makes a positive so...
y = -5. 
Lets substitute to check:
8 + -5 = 3 (another way of saying 8-5 = 3) and 12 - -5 = 17 (another way of saying 12 + 5 = 17)
Hope this helps :)

Please help me with this thankyou​
DerKrebs [107]
The answer would be 60

The first think you would need to do would simply 144. Which would be 12.

Then you are going to want to multiply-5 by 12.
Which would be 60.
With 12 as a positive number, being greater or to than 60 then will become a positive.

The touchdown to fumble ratio for Bobby Boucher was 9:2 If Bobby ran for 18 touchdowns,
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: He had 14 more touchdowns than he did fumbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Ok, so we need to see how many times 9 will divide into 18.

18/9=2.

Step 2. So now that we know that 9 goes into 18 two times and we know he has two fumbles for every 9 touchdowns we can multiply 2 by 2 to find out how man fumbles he had.

2*2=4

Step 3. Now to find out how many more touchdowns than fumbles he had we need to subtract his fumbles from his touchdowns.

18-4= 14. So, now we know he had 14 more touchdowns than he did fumbles.

Hope this helps!
