C=x+9, c+x=99, c=99-x

So we have two equations equal to c, c=x+9 and c=99-x, since c=c:

x+9=99-x

2x+9=99

2x=90

x=45, and since c=x+9, c=54

So Charlie weighs 54 kg and his brother weighs 45 kg.

What is can someone help 7-3+4÷2×6?
White raven [17]

There are no parentheses or exponents, so the Order of Operations tells you to start by performing division and multiplication left to right.

7-3+4÷2×6

= 7-3+2×6

= 7-3+12

After you have done that, you perform addition and subtraction left to right.

= 4 +12

= 16

______

A Google or Bing search box will evaluate expressions such as this according to the order of operations.

Which of the following points is a solution to the system of equations shown?
puteri [66]
Using Substitute method:

Replace y value of equation 2 into equation 1:
4x + (x+6) = 1

Solve for x:
4x + x + 6 = 1
5x = 1 - 6
5x = -5
x = -5/5
x = -1

Pick any of the two equation, replace x with it's value -1 and solve for y:
y = (-1) + 6
y = -1 + 6
y = 5

Solution: (-1, 5)

2/3-1/12 answer as a fraction
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract fractions, you must make all of the fractions have a common denominator. We can set both of the denominators as 12. To achieve this, you must multiply both sides of 2/3 by 4. This will change the denominator of the fraction, while keeping the fraction equal to 2/3. Doing this will give us 8/12. Now we can subtract. Since the denominators are the same, we only subtract the numerators. Since 8-1 is 7, our answer is 7/12. The denominator does not change.

An airplane is loaded with cargo and ready to take off. Before it departs, an unknown number of 8 pound boxes, b, will be taken
Monica [59]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of 8 pounds before boxes to be removed from cargo = b

Weight in pound of crate to be loaded into cargo = 600 pounds

To achieve a balance , no more Than 400 pounds may be taken off the plane

Hence,

Number of pounds removed must not be more than 400 pounds

(8 pounds * b) ≤ 400

8b ≤ 400

Divide both sides by 8

b ≤ 50
