Answer:
x = -1 y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = −4
x + 5y = −6
Multiply the first equation by -1
-x - 3y = 4
The add to the second equation to eliminate x
-x - 3y = 4
x + 5y = −6
--------------------
2y = -2
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -2/2
y = -1
Now solve for x
x+3y = -4
x +3(-1) = -4
x -3 = -4
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = -4+3
x = -1
Answer:
1) 6
2)4
3)27
4)126
5)15
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We need to see how many 8-miles are in 24 miles, than multiple it with 2in.
(24/8)*2=3*2=6in
2. Fist we calcue how many 17-feets are in 68feets, and multiple that with 1in.
(68/17)*1=4
3. We first see how many 3ins are in 9ins, and than multiple that with 9feet
(9/3)*9=3*9=27
4. First see how many 2ins are in 36ins, and then multiple it with 7.
(36/2)*7=18*7=126feet
5. See how many 15fts are in 75ft And than multiple it with 3.
(75/15)*3=5*3=15
We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
