Remember yo can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
so
remember distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
so first distribute
2(3x)+2(-9)=18x
6x-18=18x
minus 6x both sides
-18=12x
divide both sides by 12
-18/12=x
-9/6=x
-3/2=x
easier way is to first divide both sides by 2
x=-3/2
The answer is 2.2 , you divide 99/45
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
Answer: 35 t shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of t shirts be x
Let profit made be y
On main street, the store costs $650,
Selling the t shirt at $32 per 1
He would make a revenue of 32x
Profit = revenue - cost accrued
y1 = 32x - 650
On Broad street, the store costs $440,
Selling the t shirt at $26 per 1
He would make a revenue of 26x
Profit = revenue - cost accrued
y2 = 26x - 440
To make same profit on either location
y1 = y2
32x - 650 =26x - 440
32x -26x = -440+650
6x = 210
x = 210/6
= 35 t shirts
