What is the solution to the system of equations?

1 answer:

6 0

When we add the two equations vertically. we get 5x=10 (3x+2x and 4+6, the y's cancel each other out) ∴x=2. Substitute this into any of the equations and we get y=2

so, x=2 and y=2

Solve the given system, using the substitution method.

Y = 3x - 7 . . . . . (1)
6x - 2y = 12 . . . (2)

Putting (1) into (2) gives
6x - 2(3x - 7) = 12
6x - 6x + 14 = 12
14 = 12

Therefore, there is no solution.

Short side is 4, long side is 8.

Math: I made a rectangle with double the area. I took that number and found the multiples. 1x32, 2x16, 4x8. 4 is half of 8, so its the shorter side.

Nan rode the roller coaster 8 times which was twice as many times as she rode the ferris wheel

irina [24]

I'm assuming that you're looking for the number of times Nan rode the Ferris Wheel. The question says that 8 times is twice as many times as the Ferris Wheel, so you would divide 8 by 2 to get 4. Nan rode the Ferris Wheel 4 times.
