Y = 5x - 13 ----------- (1)
5x + 2y = 19 --------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2):

5x + 2(5x -13) = 19
5x + 10x - 26 = 19
15x = 19 + 26
15x = 45
x = 3 -------- sub back into (1)
y = 5(3) - 13
y = 15 - 13
y = 2

Ans: x = 3, y = 2

Please help me solve this

$\dfrac{x}{ - 3} < - 4 \\\\ x > 12$

P. S. The inequality sign changed or flipped when there's a negative figure involved.

Hope this helps. - M

Peter has twice as many stickers as Joe. Joe has 40 more stickers than Emily. They have 300 Stickers altogether. How many sticke

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations derived from given info.

P=2J
J=E+40
P+J+E=300

Use some substitution now.

P=2(E+40)
J=E+40
P+J+E=300

Substitute first and second equation into third.

2(E+40)+E+40+E=300
2E+80+E+40+E=300
4E+120=300
4E=180
E=45

Emily has 45 stickers. But we want to know what Peter has.

Use P=2(E+40)

P=2(45+40)
P=90+80
P=170

Peter has 170 stickers.
