Answer:
x = 14
y = 7
z = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
x = # of cucumbers
y = # zucchini
z = # tomatoes
x + y + z = 43
2y = x or y = x/2
x + 8 = z
x + x/2 + x + 8 = 43
2x + x/2 = 35
4x + x = 70
5x = 70
x = 14
2y = 14
y = 7
14 + 8 = z
z = 22
Check if these variables are right:
14 + 7 + 22 = 43 ✔️
There are 6/10 left over. 6/10 reduces to 3/5.
In order for an equation to be in standard form, the equation has to be in Ax+By=c form, where A is equal to the coefficient of x and B is equal to the coefficient of y, whereas c is just the constant, or the number in the equation that isn't being multiplied to a variable. In this case, you should first distribute 2y into (x-1), and then you should perform inverse operations on terms on both sides of the equation such that one side of the equation will only have terms with x and y in them and the other side of the equation will only be a numerical value. When the equation is like this, then the equation is in standard form.
