Answer:
x = -2, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Your goal is to try and cancel out a variable. I want to get rid of y so i subtracted the first equation from the second one.
After that I solve for x and got x=-2.
I used x=-2 and plugged it back into either of the equation to solve for y.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
we know that
The area of Tracy's backyard is 
Convert to an improper fraction
step 2
To find the area of the garden, multiply the area of the backyard by 1/3
so
First, recall that the equation of a line is
y = mx+b
where
m = slope
b = y-int
The key to this question is the details :
Horizontal line ---> This tells you that your slope is 0
y-int = 3.5 -----> In the equation above, b=3.5
Therefore,
y = 0x + 3.5
y = 0 + 3.5
y = 3.5
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
expand 4(x+5): 4x+20
2x+34=4x+20
subtract 34 from both sides
2x+34-34=4x+20-34
2x=4x-14
subtract 4x from both sides
2x-4x=4x-14-4x
-2x=-14
divide both sides by -2
-2x/-2=-14/-2
x=7
You could use many methods to find the answer to this problem, but I am going to use the most efficient one I know.
18f+15(4f)=156
F is for fins. We should now solve the equation.
18f+60f=156
78f=156
156÷78=2
So fins cost 2 dollars. Now, we know snorkels cost four times the amount of fins. Four times 2 is eight. So the snorkels cost $8 to rent. Let's check our math.
15(8) + 18(2)
120+36=156
So it cost $8 to rent a snorkel.
