Answer:X= 1.84. Y= 3.08
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x+8y =8 ............i
-8x+10y= -16........ii
Multiply equation I by 8
Multiply equation ii by 9
-72x+64y = 64 ..... iii
-72x+90y = 144 ..... iv
Subtract iv from iii
-26y = -80
y= 80/26
y= 3.08
Put the value of y in equation i
-9x+8y =8
-9x+8(3.08) = 8
-9x+24.64 = 8
-9x = 8-24.64
-9x=-16.64
Divide both side by 9
-9x/-9 = -16.64/-9
X= 1.84

Answer:
(b) 5, 17
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answer choices easily enough.
2 +3×8 ≠ 14
2 +3×5 = 17 . . . . this choice works (5, 17)
2 +3×2 ≠ 20
2 +3×4 ≠ 18
2 +3×10 ≠ 12
__
Or, you can solve the equation:
x + (2 +3x) = 22
4x = 20 . . . . . . . . subtract 2
x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
The numbers are 5 and (22 -5) = 17.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The left hand side of the equation contains proper fractions while the right hand side of the equation contains mixed fraction. The mixed fraction can be changed to improper fraction. 1 2/3 becomes 5/3
To breakdown the left hand side of the equation, we would take lowest common factor of 5 and 15. It is 15
Considering 4/5, if 15 divides 5,the result is 3. Multiplying 3 by 4 gives 12. So it becomes
12/15
Considering 13/15, if 15 divides 15,the result is 1, Multiplying 1 by 13 gives 13. So it becomes
13/15
The equation becomes
(12 + 13)/15 = 5/3
25/15 = 5/3
Simplifying 25/15 to its lowest terms, it becomes 5/3 so
5/3 = 5/3
Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17
Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76
So Charmaine is 14
William is 17
Answer:
the answer is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = m
y = mx + c
m = 6
