3x + y = 3

7x + 2y = 1

First isolate one of the variables (x or y) in one of the equations.

Isolate "y" in the first equation(because it is the easiest to isolate) and substitute it into the second equation.

3x + y = 3      Subtract 3x on both sides

3x - 3x + y = 3 - 3x

y = 3 - 3x


7x + 2y = 1

7x + 2(3 - 3x) = 1     [since y = 3 - 3x, you can substitute (3-3x) for "y"]

Multiply/distribute 2 into (3 - 3x)

7x + (3(2) - 3x(2)) = 1

7x + 6 - 6x = 1

x + 6 = 1     Subtract 6 on both sides

x = -5


Now that you know "x", substitute it into one of the equations (I will do both)

3x + y = 3

3(-5) + y = 3       [since x = -5, you can plug in -5 for "x"]

-15 + y = 3    Add 15 on both sides

y = 18


7x + 2y = 1

7(-5) + 2y = 1

-35 + 2y = 1     Add 35 on both sides

2y = 36     Divide 2 on both sides

y = 18


x = -5, y = 18  or  (-5, 18)

A bakery sold 36 brownies in a day, which was 30% of the total items sold that day. What was the total number of items the baker
babymother [125]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 36 is 30% of total items

So our equation would be 36/? = 30/100

From there we cross multiply so 36x100 = 3600

From there, we divide 3600 by 100

Therefore, your answer is 120

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x2 - 6x – 7 = 0, which number would have to be adde
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

(-3)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You add 7 on both sides, giving you x^2 - 6x = 7

Then, take half of b, and square it. Giving you x^2 - 6x +(-3)^2 = 7

The answer will be (-3)^2 for this question, but this is not the full solution.

Hope this helped. Good luck on the rest!
