Answer:

x = - 2

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = - 20

Now substitute - 3x for y.

4x - 2(-3x) = -20           combine the xs in the brackets

4x + 6x = - 20               Make the addition      

10x = - 20                      Divide by 10

x = - 20/10                     Do the division

x = - 2                            

===============

3x - 2y = - 20                 Put - 2 in for x  

3(-2) - 2y = - 20              remove the brackets              

- 6 - 2y = - 20                 Add 6 to both sides

-2y = - 20 + 6                 Combine

-2y = - 14                         Divide by - 2

y = - 14/-2                        

y = 7

Answer:

Keisha bought 3 sandwiches and 5 lemonades.

Equations:  x + y = 8       2x + y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a problem with two variables, you need to set up a system of equations comparing the two variables and solve using either substitution or elimination.  If 'x' represents the number of sandwiches and 'y' represents the number of lemonades, then x + y = 8 because they bought a total of 8 items.  Also, the cost of each item is given as well as the total amount of money spent.  So, our second equation is: 2x + y = 11.   We can use inverse operations to solve for 'y' in the first equation:  x + y - x = 8 - x which simplifies to: y = 8 - x.  We can then use this expression to substitute in for the variable 'y' in the second equation:  2x + 8 - x = 11.

Combine like terms:  x + 8 = 11

Inverse Operations: x +8 - 8 = 11 - 8

Solve:  x = 3, so Keisha bought 3 sandwiches

Solve for y:  y = 8 - 3 = 5, so Keisha bought 5 lemonades

When they are both racing on hoverboards, Victoria is 3 times as fast as her brother Max. When she is on foot, she is 3 times sl
NARA [144]

Answer:

Race completed in 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Max on hoverboard is = x

Then as per question speed of Victoria on hoverboard = 3x

Now it has been given in the question that speed of Victoria on foot is 1/3 of the speed of Max on hoverboard that will be = x/3

Now we will form the equation.

As we know the formula speed = distance/time

Let the time taken by both to complete the race be t minutes.

Distance covered by Victoria in 12 minutes + Distance covered by Victoria on foot = distance covered by Max on hoverboard

Then the equation will be

12(3x)+(1/3)x(t-12)=xt

36x+\frac{xt}{3}-4x=xt

x(36+\frac{t}{3}-4)=xt

36+\frac{t}{3}-4=t

32=t-\frac{t}{3}

\frac{2t}{3}=32

t=\frac{(32)3}{2}=48

So 48 minutes it took to complete the race.

If x and y are integers, and 3x + 2y = 13, which of the following could be the value of y ?
lions [1.4K]
They are all integers so...
first lets substitute
A.3x=13
X=13/3
b.3x+2=13
3x=11
x=11/3
c.3x+4=13
3x=9
x=3
d.3x+6=13
3x=7
x=7/3

E.3x+8=13
3x=5
x=5/3

therefore the possible is letter c because it must be an integer and the definition of integer states that it is not a decimal nor a fraction
