We want to use elimination to solve
y = 0                     (1)
x + y = 40             (2)

Multiply (1) by -1 to eliminate y.
-y = 0                    (3)

Add (2) and (3).
x + y + (-y) = 40 + 0
x = 40

Answer: Multiply by -1.

If average of 3 quantities is 15 , sum of quantities is....?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three quantities be x, y and z.

\because \: average =  \frac{sum \: of \: quantities}{no \: of \: quantities}  \\  \\  \therefore \: 15 =  \frac{x + y + z}{3}  \\  \\ 15 \times 3 = x + y + z \\  \\ \huge \purple{ 45 = x + y + z}

The circular opening of a tunnel has a circumference of 36 meters. What is the diameter of the tunnel?
Elza [17]
C=2(3.14159...)R
You’re given the circumference, so all you need to do is plug that in and simplify.
36=2(3.14159...)R
36=6.28R
36/6.28=R
R is about 5.73

What is the sum of all the integers between -20 and 20
Valentin [98]
