Answer:
When x = 3, use -3x -2
-3(3) - 2 = -9 - 2 = - 11
5x + y = 15
y = -5x + 15
Substituting y= -5x+15 from first equation into second equation:
3x + 2y = 16
3x + 2·(-5x + 15) = 16
3x - 10x + 30 = 16
-7x + 30 = 16
7x = 30 - 16 = 14
x = 2
Substituting x=2 into the first equation:
5x + y = 15
5(2) + y = 15
10 + y = 15
y = 15 - 10
y = 5
So your final answers are x=2 and y=5.
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
96 because 16 x 6 = 96 ounces
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of the square, you want to first find the length of each side. Since the figure is a square, we know that each side is equal to each other. We can set the expressions equal to each other to find x.
[subtract both sides by 1/2x]
[add both sides by 1]
[multiply both sides by 4]

Now that we know x, we can plug it into each expression to find teh length of each side.
[multiply]
[subtract]

Now that we know each side is equal to 23, we can add all the sides together to find the perimeter.
23+23+23+23=92 or 23×4=92
Since we know that the perimeter is 92 units, the answer is D.
