Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 7 = 9

Add 7 to each side

eliot counts a group of coins staring with the quarters his sister counts the same coins she counting the pennies wiil they get
zalisa [80]

Answer: No, they would not get the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of coins be x

Eliot counts a group of coins staring with the quarters.

As we know that

1\ quarter=25\ cents

So, Number of amount Eliot counts with the quarters is given by

25\times x=25x\ cents

Similarly, His sister counts the same coins she counting the pennies .

As we know that

1\ penny=1\ cent

So, Total amount his sister counts with  the pennies is given by

1\times x=x\ cents

But we can see that

25x\ cents\neq x\ cents

Hence, No, they would not get the same amount.

Solve the simultaneous equation<br> 2x + 4y=1<br> 3x - 5y=7
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

x = 3/2 or 1.5.

y = -1/2 or -0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for one equation, one variable.

2x + 4y = 1

subtrract 4y from both sides.

2x = 1 - 4y

divide by 2 to get x by itself.

x = 1/2 - 2y

Now that we have this, we can put it into the other equation.

3x - 5y = 7

Substitute variable.

3(1/2 - 2y) - 5y = 7

Distribute the 3.

1.5 - 6y - 5y = 7

Combine terms.

-11y + 1.5 = 7

Subtract by 1.5.

-11y = 5.5

Divide by -11.

y = -1/2, or -0.5.

Now we can find x. Substitute this into the initial equation.

2x + 4y = 1

Substitute variable.

2x + 4(-1/2) = 1

Multiply.

2x + (-2) = 1

Simplify.

2x - 2 = 1

Add 2 to both sides.

2x = 3

Divide by 2.

x = 3/2, or 1.5.

x = 3/2 or 1.5.

y = -1/2 or -0.5.

HELP
NeX [460]



ANSWER IS 5




so
how many years ago=x
so
'in how many years ago (-x) was ethan 5 times older than son
40-x means ethan's age x years ago
12-x means son's age x years ago
so
ethan's age x years ago is 5 times as much as son's age 5 years ago

40-x=5(12-x)
distribute using a(b+c)=ab+ac
40-x=60-5x
add 5x
40+4x=60
subtract 40
4x=20
divide 4
x=5




ANSWER IS 5 years
