Answer:
16 days or 15.5 I'm not sure what if the question wants exact answer or rounded to how many full days it will take
Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:
Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and M + B = 29 (Given) OR B = 29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):
29 -M = 2.M -10
29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6
Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old
Answer:
x = 75 and y = -72
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
1/5 x + 1/8 y = 1 ------(1)
1/2 x − 1/3 y = 1 -------(2)
<u>To find the solutions of the system of equations</u>
Step 1: eq(1) * 5 ⇒
x + 5/8y = 5 ----(3)
Step 2: eq(2) * 2 ⇒
x - 2/3y = 2 -----(4)
Step 3: eq(3) - eq(4) ⇒
x + 5/8y = 5 ----(3)
<u>x - 2/3y = 2 -</u>----(4)
0 +(5/8 - 2/3)y = 3
-1/24 y = 3
y = -24*3 = -72
Step 4: Substitute the value of y in eq(1)
1/5 x + 1/8 y = 1 ------(1)
1/5 x + 1/8 (-72) = 1 ------(1)
1/5 x - 24 = 1
1/5 x = 25
x = 5*25 = 75
Therefor x = 75 and y = -72
Answer:
x = -3, y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve by substitution:
First make the second equation in terms of y:
y = -x-4
Next, since we found what y is, plug it into the first equation and solve for x:
-3x + 5(-x-4) = 4 Plug in
-3x - 5x - 20 = 4 Distribute
-8x - 20 = 4 Simplify
-8x = 24
x = -3
We have found that x = -3. To find y we need to plug x back into any of the equations. Let's do equation #2.
(-3) + y = -4 Plug in
y = -1 Simplify
So, y = -1 and x = -3. Let's check this in the first equation to make sure it is correct:
-3(-3)+ 5(-1) = 4 Plug in
9 + (-5) = 4 Simplify
9 - 5 = 4
4 = 4
Since both sides are equal that means we are correct!
Hope this helps!!
