Here's how you solve this. So, x+y=2, right? Let's isolate x. x+y-y=2-y. x=2-y. NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y! 3x+2y=5. 3(2-y)+2y=5. (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5. 6+(-3y)+2y=5. 6+(-y)=5. 6+(-y)-6=5-6. -y=-1. -y/-1=-1/-1. y=1.
So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2. x+1=2. x+1-1=2-1. x=1. 1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation. 3(1)+2(1)=5. 3+2=5. 5=5. That's correct!
Answer: x=1, y=1
Answer:
6 grapples
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of wins
y = number of ties
y = 15 - x
48 = 5x + 2y
48 = 5x + 2(15 - x)
48 = 5x + 30 - 2x
48 = 3x + 30
18 = 3x
x = 6
Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
when you subract a negative the minus signs negate each other
#5: cost: y
Number of beads: x
y=0.48*x
So for 4 beads: 1.92
for 5 beads: 2.4
#6: the x th term in the sequence is y
y=17-2x
The 10th term is -3
