Answer:

Use y + x = 3 and solve for either x or y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution is a method to solve a system of equations by substituting an expression from one equation into the other.

To begin, first solve one equation by isolating for one variable. Choose the equation which will have the least number of steps to do so.

y + x = 3 can be solve for x or y by subtracting the other variable. Since this only requires one step use this equation. Either variable can be used.

const2013 [10]
1 gallon is 4 quarts or 8 pints. 9 gallons - 3 gallons= 6 gallons
Then convert it to quarts so, 6×4=24 quarts.
Then subtract that by 10 quarts so, 24-10=14 quarts.
Because you requested the number in pints, you have to convert it again and because there are 2 pints in a quart you multiply it by 2 so, 14×2=28 pints left over.

Solve for X. I can't seem to figure out how to isolate the X. The answers of course are X = 0,2 but I need to know the process.
marin [14]
There is no algebraic way of isolating X unfortunately. 
For these equations, you have to solve with numerical approximation.
I suggest Newtons method if you know calculus.

A student has earned scores of 87, 81, and 88 on the first 3 of 4 tests. If the student wants an average (arithmetic mean) of ex
Juli2301 [7.4K]
To find an average you take the numbers to be averaged and add them together then You take the number and divide it by the number of numbers, in this case 4, and that gives you the average.
on this problem you want to do the opposite. you know the average she wants, an 87, so you multiply it by 4. 87*4=348. then you add the three numbers you have (88,81 and 87) and you get 256.
then you subtract 256 from 348 and you get 92. 92 is your answer to check just add 87+81+88+92=348
348/4=87
87 was the average she wanted.
Hope this helped! good luck :)
