Describe in words how you would solve the linear system y = 3x + 1 and y = - 2x + 3.

1 answer:

5 0

We are using substitution to solve this problem.

y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)

(2/5,11/5)

Jeanine is twice as old as her brother Marc. If the sum of their ages is 24. How old is Jeanine?

Tanya [424]

Let Marc's age be x. If Jeanine is twice as old as Marc, then her age will be 2x. If their ages added together are 24, then you can create the following equation:

2x + x = 24
3x = 24
x = 8

Remember that x is Marc's age. So if Marc is 8, and Jeanine is twice as old, she will be 16.
