S= small dogs and l= large dogs

s + l = 85s + 8l = 55

<span> multiply the first equation by an amount that will get rid of a variable.
</span>-5s - 5l = -405s + 8l =  55

Now divide both sides by 3
3l = 15l = 5

s + 5 = 8s = 3


Now let's make sure that we got the right answer:

5 * 3 + 8 * 5 = 5515 + 40 = 5555 = 55


We are correct!

Ryan walked 3 small dogs

I hope this helps!

Let L and S be the number of large and small dogs respectively.

L+S=8 so we can say L=8-S

5S+8L=55, using L found above in this equation yields:

5S+8(8-S)=55

5S+64-8S=55

-3S+64=55

-3S=-9

S=3, since L=8-S

L=5

So Ryan walked 3 small dogs and 5 large dogs.

When solving a literal equation, what is the trick for isolating a variable that appears more than once?
Paha777 [63]

Literal equations, simply put, are equations containing two or more variables. Your goal is to solve for just one variable with respect to others. If you know how to solve regular equations, then I guarantee you that solving literal equations will be a breeze.

The "heart" of literal equation is to isolate or keep by itself a certain variable on one side of the equation (either left or right) and the rest on the opposite side.

Answer:

x+ 3/2y= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+12y=120

To put the equation into standard form, the leading coefficient has to be 1. So, divide the whole equation by 8.

x+ 3/2y= 15

Hey how to do this and what the answer​
frez [133]

Answer:

5x + y - 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given two points and are asked to find the equation of the line we use the two - point form.

Two - point form: $ \frac{y - y_1}{y_2 - y_1} = \frac{x - x_1}{x_2 - x_1} $.

where: $ (x_1,y_1) $ and $ (x_2,y_2) $ are the two points on the line.

Given the two points are: (5,21) and (-5,-29).

Substituting in the two point form:

⇒  $ \frac{y - 21}{-29 - 21} = \frac{x - 5}{-5 -5} $

$ \implies \frac{y - 21}{-50} = \frac{x - 5}{-10} $

$ \implies y - 21 = 5x - 25 $

⇒                              5x + y - 4 = 0
