The answer is B. There can not be any alike "x" inputs.
Answer: 12x-4, 14 counters, 8 more counters
Step-by-step explanation: There are 2x yellow, 4x+6 red, and 6x-10 blue counters. We need to add all of this up to get the total number of counters. We first add the x's : 2x+4x+6x = 12x. Then we add the numbers. 6+ (-10) is -4. So, our expression is 12x-4. Next, we need to find out how many blue counters are in the bag. We know that there are 44 total counters and we need to find x because all the counters have x in them. 12x-4 = 44. We first add 4 to both sides to get 12x= 48 and x = 4. blue has 6x-10 counters so, blue has 24-10 = 14 counters. Red has 16+6 = 22 counters. 22-14 = 8 more counters
Answer:
x=2 and y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the two equations to remove "y" and solve for x:
4x+8y=16
6x-8y=4
________
10x=20
x=2
Plug x=2 into one of the original equations to get the value of "y":
4x+8y=16
4(2)+8y=16
8+8y=16
8y=8
y=1
Therefore, x=2 and y=1
