Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.

<span> -8x=72-16y             
4x=-92+16y        <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2:          8x = - 184 + 32y

Now combine the following, column by column:

</span><span> -8x=       72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
   0 = -112 + 16y.  Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.

Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:

<span>4x=-92+16(7)   =>   4x = -92 + 112  =  20.  Then x = 5.

Solution is 5, -7   (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>

7n+2 = 4n+17 solve the equation
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

n + 2 = 4 n + 17

Hint: | Move terms with n to the left hand side.

Subtract 4 n from both sides:

(n - 4 n) + 2 = (4 n - 4 n) + 17

Hint: | Combine like terms in n - 4 n.

n - 4 n = -3 n:

-3 n + 2 = (4 n - 4 n) + 17

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

4 n - 4 n = 0:

2 - 3 n = 17

Hint: | Isolate terms with n to the left hand side.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

(2 - 2) - 3 n = 17 - 2

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

2 - 2 = 0:

-3 n = 17 - 2

Hint: | Evaluate 17 - 2.

17 - 2 = 15:

-3 n = 15

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -3 n = 15 by -3:

(-3 n)/(-3) = 15/(-3)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

n = 15/(-3)

Hint: | Reduce 15/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 15 and -3.

The gcd of 15 and -3 is 3, so 15/(-3) = (3×5)/(3 (-1)) = 3/3×5/(-1) = 5/(-1):

n = 5/(-1)

Hint: | Simplify the sign of 5/(-1).

Multiply numerator and denominator of 5/(-1) by -1:

Answer: n = -5

The media could not publish or discuss real evidence related to the president or the investigation. please help me.</span>

<span>the answer for u is  </span>

<span>2 hours=120 minutes
You simply just do 120/100=1.2
So the answer is B. 1.23 or 1.2 (rounded) per minute</span>
