<u>To make this problem solvable, I have replaced the 't' in the second equation for a 'y'.</u>
Answer:
<em>x = -9</em>
<em>y = 2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solve the system:</u>
2x + 3y = -12 [1]
2x + y = -16 [2]
Subtracting [1] and [2]:
3y - y = -12 + 16
2y = 4
y = 4/2 = 2
From [1]:
2x + 3(2) = -12
2x + 6 = -12
2x = -18
x = -18/2 = -9
Solution:
x = -9
y = 2
Answer:
11 feet, 26 feet, 29 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x+4 middle) + (3x- 4 longest) + (x smallest )= 66
2x +3x +x +4 - 4= 6x
6x = 66
x= 66/6
x = 11
smallest = 11 feet
middle = 2(11) + 4 = 26 feet
longest = 3(11) -4 = 29 feet
The sale price of 3 bottles of shampoo is 3s and the regular price is 3r. The amount of money you save will only come in when you buy 3. The cost you save is the difference between the regular price and the sale price. The equation is therefore,
c = 3r - 3s
Answer:
16 students
Step-by-step explanation:
144 students enter a spelling bee contest.
Step 1
For the semi final round we are told that only 1/6 of the group will make it into that round.
This is calculated as
1/6 × 144/students = 24 students.
This means that only 24 students would make it into the semi final rounds.
Step 2
We are also told in the question that only 2/3 of THAT group would make it into the final round.
" THAT" group been referred to in the question means the number students that made it to the semi final round
This is calculated as
2/3 of that group( the group that made it to the semi finals)
= 2/3 × 24 students
= 16 students.
Therefore, the number of students that will enter the final round of the spelling bee is 16 students.
7/-15 cuz 17-10=7 and (-7)-8=25
