Answer:
x=1 y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the elimination method.
3x+4y=7
2x-y = 1 (multiply both sides by 4)
8x-4y=4
3x+4y=7
(add both equations together)
11x=11
x=1
Plug x=1 into either of the equations
2(1) - y=1
2-y=1
2=1+y
y=1
Answer:
$80 was on the gift card to begin with
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial money be x
Peter spent (1/2)*x
Peter added 10
<em>Before adding more money on the gift card Peter had x -(1/2)x left on the gift card which is (1/2)x</em>
<em>After loading more money Peter had (1/2)x + 10</em>
(1/2)x = 40 <em>(money spent by Peter)</em>
x/2 = 40
x = 80
The value of d from the given expression is 15
<h3>Word problem leading to equation</h3>
From the given statement the sum of five times d and five times five is a
hundred is interpreted as;
5d + 5(5) = 100
5d + 25 = 100
Subtract 25 from both sides
5d = 100 - 25
5d = 75
d =15
Hence the value of d from the given expression is 15
