Step-by-step explanation:
again, 2 unknowns.
x = number of 2- points baskets
y = number of 3- points baskets
we know they hit the basket 37 times in a so far unknown mixture of 2-point and 3- point throws.
x + y = 37
which gives us e.g.
x = 37 - y
and we know that with this unknown mixture they scored 80 points.
so,
2x + 3y = 80
as every successful 2-points throw scores 2 points, and every successful 3-points throw scores 3 points.
so, again our 2 equations :
x = 37 - y
2x + 3y = 80
remember, we prepared the first equation so that it gives us already an identity expressing one variable by the other. and that we use in the second equation :
2×(37 - y) + 3y = 80
74 - 2y + 3y = 80
74 + y = 80
y = 6
and from
x = 37 - y
we get
x = 37 - 6 = 31
so, they had 31 2-points throws and 6 3-points throws.

Answer:
Instead of moving the 3x to the opposite side of the equation they moved the 2x. And the correct answer is x=-6 not x=6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Student Work:
2(x + 4) – 8 = 3x+10-4
2x + 8–8 = 3x + 6
2x = 3x + 6
- 3x – 3x
X = 6
My work:
2(x+4)-8=3x+10-4
2x+8-8=3x+6
2x=3x+6
-x=6
x=-6
Answer:
The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons
The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let smaller cooler's capacity be x gallons
Hence
Larger cooler's capacity will be 5x gallons
Together, they will hold 45 gallons, thus we can write:
x + 5x = 45
Solving:
x + 5x = 45
6x = 45
x = 45/6 = 7.5
And 5x = 5(7.5) = 37.5
The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons
The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons
