148 non students attended
Step-by-step explanation:
Given




Solving (a): Number of students
Represent students with S and non students with N
So:
--- (1)
--- (2)
Make N the subject of formula in (1)

Substitute 434 - S for N in (2)

Answer:
the answer is 35
Step-by-step explanation:
35 because c was next to the 35
you will need 3/8 pounds of peanut.
3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8= 3/4
(ask me if you are confuse plz)
2x+3y= -17
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x.
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to:
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you:
-15y=85
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get:
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one.
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7
