Well just substitute y (the first equation) into the second equation.
So
5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Then just solve the equation from there.
5x-20+12x=-3
17x=17
x=1
and if you need y, y=2
Answer:
-5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
first distribute the 2.5
also convert the 2/5 to decimal (0.4) because it's hard to work with both decimal and fraction
2.5y + 2.5*0.4 = -13
2.5y +1 = -13
y = -14/2.5 = -5.6
Answer: 2.592 x 10^6 seconds
Explanation:
There are 3600s in 1 hr
And 24hrs in 1 day which mean
There are 3600 x 24 = 86400s in 1 day
And one month = 30 days
86400 x 30 = 2, 592, 000s in 1 month
Write in scientific notation:
2, 592, 000 = 2.592 x 10^6
First you need to set up a formula. Underline all of your givens:
<u>Spent 1/2 on clothes
$6 more for washing windows
Ended with $10.
</u>
now you need to set up an equation.
<u>
</u>You know she ended up with $10. So that will be what it equals. Then you know that she earned $6 in addition to her allowance. So this would be (x= allowance) (x+6)/2 = 10.
<u>
</u>Now you need to solve for x.
Multiply both sides by 2.
<u>
</u>x+6=20<u>
</u>Now subtract both sides by 6 to get x alone:
<u>
</u>x=$14<u>
</u><u>
</u>
