How to solve this problem

So first, you have to get two of the same variables to cancel out. Let's do this for x. In order for the x's to cancel out, we could multiply the bottom problem by 2.
(2) 3x-6y=24
After multiplying all the numbers by 2, you get the equation 6x-12y=48
The set of equations is now
-6x+2y=12
6x-12y=48
Now you can add them. The x variables cancel out, so you are left with the y variable.
2y+-12y=-10y and 12+48=60
Then you would divide 60 by -10 to get y=-6.
You would plug the answer for y into one of the original equations, lets do the top one. -6x+2y=12 becomes -6x+2(-6)=12
You'd multiply the 2 and -6 to get -12 so the equation is
-6x-12=12
The negative 12 turn positive and you add to both sides to get the -6x alone.
-6x-12=12
+12=12
-6x=24
Then divide 24 by -6
X=4

(-4,-6) is your final answer.

Which expression has exactly three terms? Select all the expressions that apply.
irga5000 [103]

The answer is expressions D, E, and G.

In algebra, a ‘term’ usually means the different parts of an expression that are separated by + and - signs.

Options A and B only have 1 term, an x or y³, so these are incorrect.

Option C has 1 term as well, ‘xyz’, because they are all multiplied together which makes it one term.

D and E both have 3 terms each, but F has 4 unique terms so this is incorrect also.

G has 3 unique terms, x³, x^4, and 7x, so this is correct.

When H is expanded, you will end up with more than 3 unique terms, so this is incorrect.

I hope this helps!

What is the adult to child ratio of 8:5 if 390 attend how many are children
AVprozaik [17]
1. 8+5=13

2. 13 x 3 x 10 = 13 x 30 = 390

Using the information above transform the ratio 8:5.

8 x 30 : 5 x 30

If you do this, you'll end up with the ratio:

240 : 150

This means that 240 adults attended whilst 150 children attended.
