-10x-10 = -3x+4
+3x +3x

-7x-10 = 4
+10 +10

-7x = 14
then divide -7 on both side of the equal sign
you’ll get x=-2
then plug in -2 as x into one of the equations ( it doesn’t matter which one)
y= -10(-2)-10 = 20-10= 10
so y=10
Answer:
4/7 = 8/14
Step-by-step explanation:
1 2/3 is the same as 5/3, so the reciprocal is 3/5
Answer:
25/3 is the value for y.
Step-by-step explanation:
The explanation is in the image attached to my answer. If you have any questions then feel free to leave a comment!
We need to do a system of equations here.
x + y = 275 (if you travel <em>x</em> km by bike and <em>y </em>km by bus, then you travel 275 km as given in the problem)
y = x + 55 (the problem stated that they were bussed (y) the amount they biked plus 55 more km (x + 55))
The second equation is already solved for y. So, we can plug it in to the first equation.
x + (x + 55) = 275
2x + 55 = 275 [combine x terms]
2x = 220 [subtract 55 from both sides]
x = 110 [divide by 2 to isolate x and solve for it]
Now we know that x is 110, the distance they traveled by bike.
And that's what we needed to answer the problem!
