Sydney’s age is 50.

2x = 100
x = 50

What is the solution of the linear system?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$(3,-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-7x - 2y = -13$

$x = 2y + 11$

Required

Find the solution

Substitute $2y + 11$ for x in the first equation

$-7(2y + 11) - 2y = -13$

Open bracket

$-14y -77 - 2y = -13$

Collect Like Terms

$-14y - 2y = -13+77$

$-16y = 64$

Solve for y

$y = \frac{64}{-16}$

$y = -4$

Substitute -4 for y in $x = 2y + 11$

$x = 2(-4) + 11$

$x = -8 +11$

$x = 3$

Hence, the solution is $(3,-4)$

A group of people are having a dinner that costs $160, which is to be shared equally. If two more persons join the group and sha

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

8 people in the original group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of people who were originally present for the dinner that cost $160. Their average cost per person would be:

$160/x

If 2 more people join, there are x+2 people. Ignoring the awkward situation that they apparently did not order any additional food, they agree to share the cost of the dinner. The average cost is now:

$160/(x+2)

We are told that this new average is now $4 less per person.

$160/(x+2) = ($160/x) - $4

$160 = (($160/x) - $4)(x+2)

x = 8 people

Annette [7]

Answer:

The probability of getting a peach or an apple is 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two peaches and four apples, so six fruits we want to know the probability of getting, and there are also three pears, which means we have nine fruits total. The chance of getting an apple or a pear is six out of nine, which simplifies to two out of three.
