Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:
8x-20y = -24
8x +3y = 68
------------
0 -23y = -92
Now divide both sides by -23:
y = 4
Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:
8x +3(4) = 68
8x = 68 - 12
8x = 56
x = 7
So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)
Hope this makes more sense it’s all in the photo! ❤️
Answer:
12a+2b
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Expand by distributing terms.
20a-8b-2(4a-5b)20a−8b−2(4a−5b)
2. Expand by distributing terms.
20a-8b-(8a-10b)20a−8b−(8a−10b)
3. Remove parentheses.
20a-8b-8a+10b20a−8b−8a+10b
4.Collect like terms.
(20a-8a)+(-8b+10b)(20a−8a)+(−8b+10b)
5. Simplify.
12a+2b12a+2b
6.Answer
12a+2b
Answer:
3 11/16 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit, 1 5/8 pounds of apples, and 2 3/16 pounds of bananas. The total weight of her purchases was 7 1/2 pounds. How much did the bag of grapefruit weigh?'
The Total weight = Weight of grape fruits + Weight of Apples + Weight of Bananas
Let the weight of the grape fruit = x
7 1/2 = x + 1 5/8 + 2 3/16
x = 7 1/2 - (1 5/8 + 2 3/16)
Lowest Common Denominator = 16
x= 7 1/2 - 3 + ( 10+ 3/16)
x = 7 1/2 - 3 + (13/16)
x = 7 1/2 - 3 13/16
Lowest Common Denominator = 16
x= 4 (8 - 13/16)
x = 4 (-5/16)
x = 3 11/16 pounds
Therefore, the bag of grapefruits weighed 3 11/16 pounds
Answer:
3,000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
hence
3 kilometers = 1,000 meters x 3 = 3,000 meters
