Answer:

B. -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + y) = 12

x/2 = 3

From the second equation

x = 2*3

x = 6.

Substitute for x in the first equation:

3(6 + y) = 12

18 + 3y = 12

3y = 12 - 18

3y = -6

y = -2.

Answer:

\large\boxed{B)\ -2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3(x+y)=12&(1)\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}=3&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\ \dfrac{x}{2}=3\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(2)(3)\\\\x=6\\\\\text{Put it to (1):}\\\\3(6+y)=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1(6+y)}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\6+y=4\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\6-6+y=4-6\\\\y=-2

148 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 3{:}32\text{ p.M.}3:32 p.M.3, colon, 32, start text, space, p, point, m, point, end text and Emma has gymnastics lessons at 6{:}00\text{ p.M.}6:00 p.M.6, colon, 00, start text, space, p, point, m, point, end text How many minutes are there until Emma's gymnastics lessons?\

The time is 3:32 pm

Emma's gymnastics lesson is at 6:00 pm

6:00 pm - 3:32 pm = 2 hours 28 minutes

That is, we have 28 minutes before 4:00 pm

And 2 hours from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm making a total of 2 hours 28 minutes

How many minutes are there until Emma's gymnastics lessons?

Convert 2 hours 28 minutes to minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

2 hours = 60 minutes × 2 = 120 minutes

120 minutes + 28 minutes = 148 minutes

2 hours 28 minutes to minutes = 148 minutes

Jean sold cupcakes and cookies yesterday. Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jea
slega [8]

Answer:number of cupcakes sold is 13

Number of cookies sold is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Jane sold.

Let y represent the number of cookies that Jane sold.

Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jean had sold $42.75 worth of cookies and cupcakes.

This means that

2.25x + 0.5y = 42.75 - - - - - - - - - -1

she sold 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means that

x + y = 40

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.25(40 - y) + 0.5y = 42.75

90 - 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75

- 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75 - 90

- 1.75y = - 47.25

y = - 47.35/-1.75

y = 27

x = 40 - y

x = 40-27 = 13
