Well, before I can answer this, we must know how many muffins we start out with.
calculate rise over run = 37 ÷ 63
Answer:
x = 11, y=-½
Step-by-step explanation:
Simultaneous equations - subtract the first equation from the second.
x + 4y = 9
-(x - 2y = 12)
6y = -3
y = -½
Substitute y
x + 4(-½) = 9
x + -2 = 9
x = 11
Z - (-9) is the same as z + 9. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding.
Therefore
17 = z - (-9)
is the same as
17 = z + 9
To get 'z' all by itself, we need to subtract 9 from both sides. We subtract 9 from both sides to undo the "plus 9" occurring to the 'z' on the right side.
17 = z + 9
17-9 = z + 9=9 ... subtracting 9 from both sides
8 = z
z = 8
So the answer is z = 8
---------------------------
Check:
17 = z - (-9)
17 = 8 - (-9) ... replace z with 8
17 = 8 + 9
17 = 17
Answer checks out
