Answer:
Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation 2x + 6y = 12 to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy.
Given:
2x + 6y = 12
where
x = number of pounds of granola y = number of pounds of walnuts
The correct solution to the problem
x = 3 pounds
2x + 6y = 12
2(3) + 6y = 12
6 + 6y = 12
Subtract 6 from both sides
6 + 6y - 6 = 12 - 6
6y = 6
Divide both sides by 6
y = 6/6
= 1
y = 1 pound
Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.
Answer:
Solutions are -10 and 26
Step-by-step explanation:
( - the abolute sign I'm using
( x - 8 ) + 2 = 20
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = 18 (postive case)
x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8
x = 26
( x - 8 ) = 18
x - 8 = -18 (negative case)
x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
x = -10
Answer:
Option D is correct.
13x = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equation is given:
....[1]
.....[2]
Multiply equation [1] by 5 to both sides we have;
.....[3]
Using elimination method:
Add [2] and [3] equations to eliminate y and solve for x, we have;
Divide both sides by 13 we get;
x = 3
Substitute x in [1] we have;
2(3)-y = -4
6-y = -4
Subtract 6 from both sides we have;
-y = -10
Divide both sides by -1 we have;
y = 10
⇒Solution: (3, 10)
Therefore, an equation can replace 3x+5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution is,
13x = 39
Answer:
3 cents for 29 days and 4 cents for 1 day
Step-by-step explanation:
1.00 dollar / 30 days = .03 cents
