a system of equations is shown below: y=3x-7 and y=2x+7. what is the solution to the system of equations?

1 answer:

7 0

A system of equations means that both equations need to be true in the same time.
Since y is equal with 3x-7 and 2x+7 then those must be equal with eachother.
3x-7=2x+7
3x-2x=7+7
X=14
Now that we know x use any given equation of y and substitute x with 14
Y=3•14-7=35
Solution: x=14, y=35

I know the distance from me to my destination. I ,also, know how many miles per hour, I'm going. How do I find out how long it w

MissTica

You simply need to devide the distance by the speed to get the time, so: 600÷50= 12hrs
This is only if you drive the same speed rhe whole way and do not stop. If you stopped you need to add the delay to the time.
For example: if you delayed 20 min altogether you need to add 12:00+00:20= 12:20.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. If a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches then the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.

Solution:

Given that the length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. Directly propotional means when the length of paper clip increases, then the number of paper clips also increases in same ratio.

Hence, by above definition, we get

$\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}$ ------- eqn 1
