Answer:

Option (2) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : two a system of linear equation as

   x+ y = 5 and

   2x+ y = 7

We have to choose out of given options  that could be the result of using comparison method to solve the given system .

COMPARISON METHOD

In comparison method we find a value for the single variable in term of others in given equations and compare the two equations.

Here, we first find the value of y in both equation and then compare,

Thus,  x+ y = 5 ...........(1)

          2x+ y = 7  .........(2)

From (1) , y = 5- x  ..........(3)

And from (2) , y = 7- 2x ......(4)

Now, comparing (3) and (4) , we have,

5- x = 7- 2x

Thus,  option (2) is correct.

Answer: 5-x=7-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations: x+y=5\\\Rightarrow\ y=5-x..........(1)\\2x+y=7\\\Rightarrow\ y=7-2x.........................(2)

Comparing equation (1) from equation (2), we get

5-x=7-2x

  • Comparison method is a method for solving systems of independent equations by starting rewriting both equations with the same variable and then compare.

Hence, 5-x=7-2x is the  result of using the comparison method to solve the system shown.

Explain hovevou could estimate 22% of 78 to check if your answer is reasonable.
fomenos

Answer:

78 rounds to 80, so find 10% of 80 and double it. 10% of 80 is 8. So, 20% of 80 is 16. Then, 22% of 78 is a little more than 16.

78 rounds to 80, and 22% is a little less than 25%. 25% (or one-fourth) of 80 is 20. So, 22% of 78 is a little less than 20.

If there are 400 ounces in 25 pounds, how many ounces are in 8 pounds
ladessa [460]
The answer is:  " 128 oz. " . 
_________________________________________________________
There are:  " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Set up a proportion;  as a fraction; as follows:
________________________________________________________

 400/ 25  = x / 8 ; 

in which:  "x" = the number of "ounces [oz.] there are in "8 lbs." ;
________________________________________________________
We shall solve for "x" , the answer to the problem:

Cross-factor multiply:

25x = (400) * 8 ; 

→ 25x = 3200 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "25" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→ 25x / 25 = 3200 / 25 ; 

→  x = 128 .
_________________________________________________________
Answer:  " 128 oz. " . 
_________________________________________________________
There are:  " 128 oz. " (in " 8 lbs." ) .
_________________________________________________________

Note of interest:  " 16 oz. =  1 lb. " (exact conversion). 

So;  "8 lbs.  <span>=  ?</span>  oz. " ; 

→  " 8 lbs. * (16 oz/ 1 lb)  =   ( 8 * 16) oz.  =  128 oz. ;  →  which is our answer!

According to a height and weight chart, Bruce's ideal wrestling weight is 168 pounds. Bruce
jek_recluse [69]

Super simple

So he wants to be three pounds away from his ideal weight (168)

Which means he can either be 3 pounds under or 3 pounds over

So his min is 165, his max is 171
