3x-12y = 5
-x+3y = 9

First step is to make the coefficient of either x or y same.

3x-12y = 5
(-x+3y = 9)3

3x-12y = 5
-3x+9y = 27

-4y = 32
y = -8

Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red br

Finger [1]

Let

x--------> the number of gray bricks

y--------> the number of red bricks

we know that

$y < \frac{x}{2}$ ------> inequality 1

$0.45x+0.58y \leq 200$ <em>-----> </em>inequality 2

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

x > 0

0.45x+0.58y≤200

Find the value of x in the figure

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

x = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

$57 \degree + (x + 23) \degree = 180 \degree..(straight \: line \: \angle s) \\ (x + 80) \degree = 180 \degree \\ x + 80 = 180 \\ x = 180 - 80 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 100}}$
