Answer:
(x, y) = (7, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for x makes it easy to use that for substitution.
3(-7y) +y = 20
-20y = 20 . . . . . collect terms
y = -1 . . . . . . . . . divide by -20
-7(-1) = x = 7 . . . use y in the second equation to find x
The solution is (x, y) = (7, -1).
Answer:
2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4 ⇒2+7 = 5+4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total
Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.
Answer:
Both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that from a point on a river, two boats are driven in opposite directions, one at 7 miles per hour and the other at 11 miles per hour, to determine how many hours they will be 54 miles apart, the following calculation must be performed :
54 / (11 + 7) = X
54/18 = X
3 = X
Therefore, both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.
We need to get x alone, to do that we add 1 to both sides to cancel out the -1 on the right.
-4 = x -1
+1 +1
-3=x
This means x is equal to -3. Hope this helps!
