Multiply each term by 8 ( to get rid of the fractions)
we get:-
-72 = -16 - k
k = -16 + 72 = 56 answer
<h3>
<u>Explanation</u></h3>
- Given the system of equations.

- Solve the system of equations by eliminating either x-term or y-term. We will eliminate the y-term as it is faster to solve the equation.
To eliminate the y-term, we have to multiply the negative in either the first or second equation so we can get rid of the y-term. I will multiply negative in the second equation.

There as we can get rid of the y-term by adding both equations.

Hence, the value of x is 3. But we are not finished yet because we need to find the value of y as well. Therefore, we substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the second equation.

Hence, the value of y is 4. Therefore, we can say that when x = 3, y = 4.
- Answer Check by substituting both x and y values in both equations.
<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

Hence, both equations are true for x = 3 and y = 4. Therefore, the solution is (3,4)
<h3>
<u>Answer</u></h3>

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio 4 + 2 = 6 parts
Divide 24 by 6 to find the value of one part of the ratio
24 ÷ 6 = 4 ← value of 1 part, thus
number of boys = 4 × 4 = 16
number of girls = 2 × 4 = 8
Hence there are 8 more boys than girls
Answer:
57 + 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
“More than” is called “+”.
“Times” is called “×”.
Greg's score will be represented as “x”.
Note: “3x” also means “3 × x”.
