The answer to this question is x=5
Add the last two equations to eliminate <em>x</em> :
(<em>x</em> - 2<em>y</em> - 3<em>z</em>) + (- <em>x</em> + <em>y</em> + 2<em>z</em>) = 0 + 3
- <em>y</em> - <em>z</em> = 3
<em>y</em> + <em>z</em> = -3
Subtract this from the first equation to eliminate <em>z</em>, then solve for <em>y</em> :
(2<em>y</em> + <em>z</em>) - (<em>y</em> + <em>z</em>) = -8 - (-3)
<em>y</em> = -5
Plug this into the first equation to solve for <em>z</em> :
2(-5) + <em>z</em> = -8
<em>z</em> = 2
Plug both of these into either the second or third equations to solve for <em>x</em> :
<em>x</em> - 2(-5) - 3(2) = 0
<em>x</em> = -4
1. $6.00. so it would be $36
2. 14 have blue shirt
21 don't have a blue shirt
The rate of change in this pattern is 2:1 comparing the change in 'y' to the change in 'x'.. this means that if you go form 33 to 51 ( an increase of 18), then the the increase from 16 to ? will be 9. Therefore, ? = 16 + 9 or 25
? = 25
