Answer:
x = 6, y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
First we take the equations side by side and put them like this:
6x + 2y = 16
+ 2x - 2y = 32
8x = 48
Then solve for x.
x = 6
Then insert x back into either equation
2(5) - 2y = 32
10 - 2y = 32
solve for y,
y = -10
Answer:
13 1/3 cups of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.
- bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
- after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y
Use substitution method to solve:
5(R - 836) = R
5R - 4180 = R <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>
4R - 4180 = 0 <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>
4R = 4180 <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>
R = 1045 <em>divided both sides by 4</em>
So add all of them and then see smallest one sorry if I'm wrong
We need to have some choices to give you the answer
