Answer:
7x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of bags of chips, then
3x is the number of bags of pretzels ← 3 times the number of bags of chips
3x - 2 is the number of bags of nachos ← 2 less than bags of pretzels
total snacks bought = x + 3x + 3x - 2 = 7x - 2
This system has no solution.
x = -7y + 24 can be rewritten as x = 24 - 7y
to simplify x + 7y = 32, we have to subtract 7y from both sides
x = 32 - 7y
Now, our system is as follows:
x = 24 - 7y
x = 32 - 7y
Answer: -4
Step-by-step explanation:
= -3 + 0 +(-2) + 3 + 2 +(-4)
= -3 - 2 + 3 + 2 - 4
= -4
