2x + 3y = 12 
2*3 6  x = 3 because 2 times 3 equals 6y = 2 because 3 times 2 equals 6. 6+6=12.
4(3) - 3(2) = 6\/        \/12       6      = 6

(2x + 3y = 12) x (-2)
(4x - 3y = 6) x 1

-4x - 6y = -24
4x - 3y = 6

You can cancel out the x values by adding the two equations together. 
(-4x + 4x) + (-6y - 3y) = (-24 + 6)
-9y = -18
y = 2

Solve for x now...
4x - 3(2) = 6
4x - 6 = 6
4x = 12
x = 3

Check... (x = 3, y = 2)
2(3) + 3(2) = 12 
6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 <- this works! 

4(3) - 3(2) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 <- this works!

Kyra exercises at a gym for 1 2/3 hours. she stretches,lifts weights, runs, and showers. kyra spends 1/4 hour stretching 1/3 hou
topjm [15]
Total time (1 2/3 hours) minus the time spent stretching (1/4 hour) minus the time spent showering (1/3 hour) equals the time spent running.

x= time spent running

x= 1 2/3 - (1/4 + 1/3)
change 1 2/3 to improper fraction
x= 5/3 - (1/4 + 1/3)
need to multiply by a common factor
3 and 4 go into 12 evenly
5/3= 20/12
1/4= 3/12
1/3= 4/12

x= 20/12 - (3/12 + 4/12)
x= 20/12 - 7/12
x= 13/12
change back to mixed fraction

x= 1 1/12 hours spent running

Hope this helps!  :)

A large grandfather clock strikes its bell once at 1:00, twice at 2:00, three times at 3:00, etcetera. what is the total number
erastovalidia [21]
There is a formula for adding consecutive integers.
sum = (n * (n+1)) / 2
for summing 1 through 12 it is
sum = (12 * 13) / 2 = 156/2 = 78
The clock goes through two "12-hour cycles" in a day, so the answer is 2 * 78 or 156 times.
