Answer:

Andrew has 9 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining what our unknowns are and how to name them:

For the number of cars Andrew has: let's use the letter A

For the number of cars Luke has: let's use the letter L

Not write the first sentence in mathematical terms:

"Luke has 4 more than triples the number of cars that Andrew has."

L = 3 * A + 4

The second phrase results on a very simple equation since it just states the number of cars that Luke has:

L = 31

Now we can combine these two equations by replacing the variable "L" in the first equation with the second equation and then solve for A:

L = 3 * A + 4

31 = 3 * A +4

31 - 4 = 3 * A

27 = 3 * A

A = 27/3

A = 9

Therefore, Andrew has 9 cars.

The table below shows four systems of equations:
Ede4ka [16]
To determine which system of equations would have the same solution, we evaluate each system of equations.

System 1 4x − 5y = 2, 3x − y = 8
x = 38/11
y = 26/11

<span>System 2 4x − 5y = 2, 3x − 2y = 1
x = 1/7
y = -2/7

System 3 4x − 5y = 2, 3x − 8y = 4
x = -4/17
y = -10/17

System 4 4x − 5y = 2, 10x − 9y = 4
x = 1/7
y = -2/7

</span><span>
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. </span><span>System 2 and system 4 are equal, because the second equation in system 4 is obtained by adding the first equation in system 2 to two times the second equation in system 2.

     4x− 5y = 2 2( 3x − 2y = 1)
-----------------------    10x - 9y = 4</span>

I do not need an explanation, just a simple angle number!
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 143 = 180    {Linear pair}

a = 180 - 143

a = 37

37 + 93 + b = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}

130 + b = 180

         b = 180 - 130

         b = 40

c + b = 90

c  + 40 = 90

c = 90 - 40

c = 50

d + 120 = 180   {Linear pair}

d = 180 - 120

d = 60

? = 60 + 40         {Exterior angle property of triangle}

? = 100
