To solve the problem, what you must do is a system of two equations with two Ingonites that describe the problem.
 Let:
 x = number of shirt buttons.
 y = number of buttons on jackets.
 Writing the system:
 36x + 42y = 842
 6x + 7y = 137
 We observe that the system is linearly dependent, therefore, it can not be solved.
 However, the solution is to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
In order to solve it, the system must be linearly independent.

Solution:

Let number of buttons in Shirt = x

And Number of buttons in Jackets = y

36 shirts and 42 jackets contains 842 buttons.

And collection of 6 shirts and 7 jackets contains 137 buttons.

Writing it in terms of equations

→ 36 x + 42 y = 842 -------(1)

→ 6 x + 7 y = 137-----(2) × 6

→ 36 x +42 y = 822  ----(3)

As equation (1) and (3) are such that there x and y coefficient are same , but the constant term on one side of equation are different. It means the two equation have no solution.

I.e → \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} =\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}  \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}

So, the two equation have no solution.

It means we can't find number of buttons in jackets and shirts.

Yoshi is 5% taller today than she was one year ago. Her current height is 168 cm. How tall was she one year ago
NemiM [27]
155.6 CM
I divided 168 by 100 to find 1% then i got 1.68cm then I times that by 5 to find 5% which was 8.4cm. Finally I subtracted 168 and 8.4 to get 155.6 CM
I hope that helped :)

Solve for x:<br><br> 2(3x - 9) = 18x<br><br> x = -3/2<br><br> x = 3/2<br><br> x = 0<br><br> x = 6
Mila [183]
Remember yo can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

so
remember distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac

so first distribute
2(3x)+2(-9)=18x
6x-18=18x
minus 6x both sides
-18=12x
divide both sides by 12
-18/12=x
-9/6=x
-3/2=x

easier way is to first divide both sides by 2


x=-3/2

the perimeter of a rectangle if the width is w centimeters and the length is 3 cm more than twice the width
lianna [129]
L being the length, W being the width.

So:

if the Length is 8cm more than twice the width, we have:

2W+8

so it's:

perimeter of a rectange = 2(2W+8)+2W

You asked me not to simplify it, so that should be your answer.
