You want to use the addition property, so you need to ADD each term. Just change the minuses to pluses, making sure you keep the negative with the number
5x-8x-7y+y =
5x + -8x + -7y +y
All the numbers are multiplied by 2 or doubled.
So the missing number after 2 is 4.
After 16 is 32.
Answer:
x > 2
x ∈ ( +2 ; + oo )
Step-by-step explanation:
8 - 2x < 4
8 - 4 < 2x
4 < 2x | : 2
2 < x
x > 2
x ∈ ( +2 ; + oo )
X+12=26, x being the amount spent by Richard <span />
Answer:
(C) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.
<h3>Solution</h3>
The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.
(2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)
4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify
b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4
