Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x – 17..........(1)

3x + y = 4............(2)

Substituting y = 4x - 17 in (2)

3x + 4x - 17 = 4

7x = 4 + 17

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3

Putting x = 3 in equation (1)

y = 4x - 17

y = 4(1) - 17

y = 4 - 17

y = -13

Hey! :)

First, let us learn about substitution.

Let's say we have an equation 3x + 1y = 1 and 1x + 2y = 6

You need to pick one equation to solve for x.

Let's say we picked 1x + 2y = 6 for x to solve for y.

Then you'd solve.

Now onto the equation.

- Substitute 4x−17 for y in 3x+y=4:

3x+y=4

3x+4x−17=4

7x−17=4 - Simplify both sides.

7x−17+17=4+17 Let's add 17 to both sides.

7x=21

Divide both sides by 7.

7x/7 = 21/7

x = 3

What is the solution to this equation -13x =25
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

-1 12⁄13

Step-by-step explanation:

-13x = 25 [Divide by -13]

x = -1 12⁄13

13 is your <em>divisor</em>, which will be your denominator, and the numerator is your <em>remainder</em><em>.</em><em> </em>Since 13 goes into 25 ONCE, 1 gets multiplied by 13 to get 13, then deduct that from 25 to get your remainder of 12. This is where you start putting the pieces together as a mixed number. Then attach the negative because whenever you divide a positive by a negative, you get a negative:

-25⁄13 = -1 12⁄13

A dairy sells $3 and $5 ice creams. In one day they sell 50 ice creams earning a total of $180. How many of each type of ice cre
murzikaleks [220]
We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream

Equation1 ----            x + y = 50   (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ----          3x + 5y = 180  Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides.  (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter).       Now we have x= ₋ y +50  (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50

3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180   
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1  is  x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50    Now subtract 15 from both sides  x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5  = +  <u>75
</u>               $180

Ammar hikes 2 3/4 miles of nature trail in 1 hour15 minutes. How many miles of trail does am mar hike per hour
AleksandrR [38]
Change 1 hour 15 minutes = 1.25 hour because 15 ÷ 60 = 0.25 so we add 0.25 hour and change 2 3/4 to 2.75
Equation: \frac{2.75}{1.25}=  \frac{?}{1} 
Multiply 2.75 × 1 = 2.75 ÷ 1.25 = 2.2 miles
I'm pretty sure this is correct

Solve the “and” compound inequality for –1 &lt; 6x + 1 ≤ 13
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

-1/3 < x <(or equal to) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly divide your inequality into two separate inequalities...

1) -1 < 6x + 1...then solve for the first one..,which then gives you....;

-2 < 6x....which gives us our first solution (x > -1/3)

Then the second inequality

2) 6x + 1 <(or equal to) 13

which then gives you....,

6x <(or equal to) 12...which then gives our second solution...( x <(or equal to) 2)

Then combine the two solutions into a compound solution

-1/3 < x <(or equal to) 2
