Answer: Thanks! It's alright!
Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2
(24,18)(28,21)
slope(rate of change) = (21 - 18) / (28 - 24) = 3/4 <==
Answer:
9 boxes are packed and 10 brownies are left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Carrie made 127 brownies and packed 13 in each box.
The number of boxes packed are , 127/13= 9 10/13
Which means that 9 boxes were packed and 10 brownies were left over.
