Quotient means division....less then means subtract
(y/2) - 5
Given that E is a point between Point D and F, the numerical value of segment DE is 46.
<h3>What is the numerical value of DE?</h3>
Given the data in the question;
- E is a point between point D and F.
- Segment DF = 78
- Segment DE = 5x - 9
- Segment EF = 2x + 10
- Numerical value of DE = ?
Since E is a point between point D and F.
Segment DF = Segment DE + Segment EF
78 = 5x - 9 + 2x + 10
78 = 7x + 1
7x = 78 - 1
7x = 77
x = 77/7
x = 11
Hence,
Segment DE = 5x - 9
Segment DE = 5(11) - 9
Segment DE = 55 - 9
Segment DE = 46
Given that E is a point between Point D and F, the numerical value of segment DE is 46.

Hello,
I suppose equations are:
x+y=3 (1)
x+2y=9 (2)
(2)-(1)==>y=6
(1)==>x=3-6
x=-3, y=6
Sol={(-3,6)}
Same case as Pablo's, more or less.
a = price for the desktop
b = price for the laptop
we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop,
b = a + 150.
how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.
how much is 9.5% of b? (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.
total interests for the financing add up to 303,
0.07a + 0.095b = 303.
how much was it for the laptop? well b = a + 150.
Answer: Option C) Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.
Solution:
(1) 9x-y=15
(2) 2x+8y=28
Isolating y in the first equation. Subtracting 9x both sides of the equation:
(1) 9x-y-9x=15-9x
Subtracting:
(1) -y=15-9x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:
(1) (-1)(-y)=(-1)(15-9x)
(1) y=-15+9x
Then Raj found the value of y. It's not option D.
Substitutng y by -15+9x in the second equation:
(2) 2x+8(-15+9x)=28
Then option C) is the answer: Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.
Eliminating the parentheses applying the distributive property in the multiplication:
(2) 2x-120+72x=28
Adding similar terms:
(2) 74x-120=28
Solving for x. Adding 120 both sides of the equation:
(2) 74x-120+120=28+120
Adding:
(2) 74x=148
Dividing both sides of the equation by 74:
(2) 74x/74=148/74
Dividing:
(2) x=2
Solving for y: Replacing x by 2 in the first equation:
(1) y=-15+9x
(1) y=-15+9(2)
Multiplying:
(1) y=-15+18
Subtracting:
(1) y=3
