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.

Lines g, h, and l are parallel and m< 2 = 132°.
xxMikexx [17]
M < 2 and m < 6 are corresponding angles and are equal....so < 6 = 132.

< 6 and < 8 form a line and are equal to 180

< 6 + < 8 = 180
132 + < 8 = 180
< 8 = 180 - 132
< 8 = 48 <===

One number is 7 more 3 times another number. the sum is 75. what is the smaller number
NeTakaya

Greetings from Brasil...

According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation

X = 7 + 3Y i

X + Y = 75 ii

So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i

X = 7 + 3Y

- X - Y = - 75

- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75

4Y = 68

Y = 17

for X we will use ii:

X + Y = 75

X + 17 = 75

X = 58

The smaller number is: 17

katrin [286]

Let x = number of months.

Let y = total number of fish in pond.

6% of 3,000 = 180 fish

We can use an equation to help us with this problem.

y = 3,000 + 180x - 400x. Combine like terms.

y = 3,000 - 220x. Plug 9 in for x.

y = 3,000 - 220(9). Solve for y

y = 1,020.

There are 1,020 fish in the pond after 9 months.
