Answer:

x = 2

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5 - 2x (1)

3x - 2y = 4 (2)

From (1), substitute in (2)

3x - 2(5 - 2x) = 4

3x - 10 + 4x = 4

Collecting like terms

3x + 4x = 4 + 10

7x = 14

x = 2

Since x = 2

Therefore

y = 5 - 2x

y = 5 - 2(2)

y = 5 - 4

y = 1

Bobby catches 8 passes in 3 football games. At this rate how many passes dose he catch in 15 games?expine

stepan [7]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

I can see the answer is 40, but let's try to figure out how to do it.

I like to use the rule of 3. Let's put the number of passes on the left side and the number of games on the right side.

$\frac{8}{x}=\frac{3}{15}$

''x'' represents the number of passes in 15 games.

Solve for x;

$x=\frac{15*8}{3}\\ x=\frac{120}{3}\\ x=40$

Simplify the expression to one number using order of operations:

geniusboy [140]

<h2><u>COMBINED OPERATIONS</u></h2><h3>Exercise</h3>

First, let's solve the subtraction (in parentheses):

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-8\left(2-6\right)}{2}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-8(-4)}{2}}$

Now, let's solve the multiplication. Remember: in multiplication, two negative numbers will give a positive number:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-8(-4)}{2}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{32}{2}}$

Finally, let's solve the division:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{32}{2} = 16}$

<h3><u>Answer</u>: 16</h3>

How do you compare and contrast decimals, fractions, and percents

Alisiya [41]

You would have to make them all one form that is the same, for example if you wanted to find out if 80%, 0.75, 1/2 are the same you would have to change them into the same form. If you wanted to make them all decimals it would be 0.08, 0.75, 0.5, if you wanted to make them all percents it would be 80%, 75%, 50%, you wanted them all of be a fraction it would be 4/5, 3/4, and 1/2. I hope explained this well and this helped :)
