Let x be the 1st number
x + 9 be the second number
Equation:
x + x+9 = 171
Solution:
2x + 9 = 171
2x = 171 - 9
2x = 162
x = 81
x + 9 = 90
81 + 90 = 171
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The intersection is the point where two equations meet. It is calculated by substituting terms into the equations involved. For the given systems of equation, calculations are as follows:
2x - y = 6
y = 2x - 6
We substitute the equation above to the second equation.
5x + 10y = –10
5x + 10( 2x - 6 )= –10
Simplifying,
5x + 20x - 60 = -10
25x = 50
x = 2
Therefore, the intersection has the value of x equal to 2.
6/x= -2/18
Cross multiply. ( Multiply the numerators together ) . ( Multiply the denominators together (.
6*18= - 2*x
108= -2x
Divide by -2 for 108 and -2x
108/-2= -2x/2
x= -54
Answer: x= -54
Given:
Seven times the smaller of two consecutive even integers is the same as -300 minus 4 times the larger integer.
To find:
The integers
.
Solution:
Let the smaller even integer be x.
So, larger even integer is x+2 because they are consecutive even integers.
Seven times the smaller integer = 7x
-300 minus 4 times the larger integer = -300-4(x+2)
Now,




Divide both sides by 11.


So, the smaller even integer is -28.

So, the larger even integer is -26.
Answer:
OPTION D: NEITHER
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is: 7x - 2y = - 5
To find a solution to this, we substitute the options and compare LHS and RHS.
OPTION A: (1, 5)
LHS = 7(1) - 2(5) = 7 - 10 = -3
RHS = - 5
LHS
RHS.
So, this option is eliminated.
OPTION B: (-1, 1)
LHS = 7(-1) - 2(1) = -7 - 2 = - 9
RHS = - 5
Again, LHS
RHS.
So, this Option is eliminated as well.
OPTION C: It says both A and B. Clearly, this is eliminated as well.
Therefore, the answer is: OPTION D: NEITHER.
NOTE: This is a two variable equation. So, we need a minimum of two equations to determine the solution. Since, only one equation is given here, we use the help of options.
