Answer:
x = 0
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
12x - 5y = -20
y = x + 4
Substitute x + 4 for y in the first equation
12x - 5(x + 4) = -20
Expand the bracket
12x -5 X x - 5 x 4 = -20
12x - 5x - 20 = -20
7x - 20 = -20
Add 20 to both sides to eliminate -20 on the left side
7x - 20 + 20 = -20 + 20
7x = 0
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
7x/7 = 0/7
x = 0
Substitute 0 for x in either equation to get y
Using equation 2, we have
y = x + 4
= 0 + 4
= 4
x = 0
y = 4
Answer: It took 18 Months for Michelle to collect 59 dolls.
Explanation:
First, let’s right an equation for this. Michelle started with 5 dolls in a bar collection (I have no clue what that is but i’ll roll with it), and each month she bought 3 more, so 5 dolls plus the 3 dolls per month equals 59 at some point.
5 dolls + 3 dolls per month = 59 dolls
OR
5 + 3m = 59
The point of this question is to find how many months (m) it took in order to get to 59 dolls and there’s multiple ways you can do this:
1) just plug in random numbers into m to see how long it takes to get to 59 [this option might take a while]
2) Try to isolate m (get every number out of the equation) to find out the value of m. [I’m most familiar with this way]
First, subtract 5 from 5 in the equation in order to get rid of it, since we’re trying to get all whole numbers out of the equation and only have m left. You subtract 5 from 59 since the equal sign is kind of like a mirrror, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. So, 5-5 is 0, and 59- is 54.
Now you’re left with 3m=54. In order to isolate the m, divide 3 by 3 to get rid of the 3, then divide 54 by 3, which is 18.
In order to check your work, plug 18 into m just to see if it works or not:
5+3m=59 —-> 5+ 3(18)= 59
3 times 18 is 54, plus 5 is 59. So, Mi hells took 18 months to collect her 59 dolls. Hope this helped!
You subtrscy the bigger number (2010's population) by the smaller one (1910's population). 237194-608660= 371,466.
When you round to the 100's you check the 10's place. If 5 or higher add a 1 to the hundreds place, and make the 1's and 10's place 0. If lower don't add anything and make the 1's and 10's place into 0s.
When you round it, you will get 371,400
I think the answer is A because it I'm right it did double the size.
