Answer:

  A: 244 pounds

  B: 122 pounds

  C: 274 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have A+B+C = 640; A=2B; C=A+30. Substituting the last into the first gives ...

  A + B + (A +30) = 640

  2A +B = 610 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

Substituting the second into this equation gives ...

  2(2B) +B = 610

  B = 610/5 = 122 . . . . . divide by 5

  A = 2B = 244 . . . . . . . .find A from B

  C = A+30 = 274 . . . . . find C from A

Box A weighs 244 pounds; box B weighs 122 pounds; box C weighs 274 pounds.

X+6 /3 = 2+x-2/5
olasank [31]
We can treat this problem like you regularly subtract fractions. First find the common denominator, which is 15.

So:

5(x+6)/15 = 30/15 + 3(x-2)/15

(5x+6)/15 - (30/15) - (3x - 6)/15


As you already know the answer, I'm assuming you can do the rest.

Hope this helps!

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?
defon

ANSWER

The correct answer is C x=3.



<u>EXPLANATION</u>


We have

4x+2y=12---(1)


and


x-y=3---(2).


We solve the two equation simultaneously by elimination method. We need to be smart and eliminate y, since we are looking for x.



We first multiply equation (2) by 2

2x-2y=6---(3).


We add equation (3) and (1).


\Rightarrow 6x=18.

Dividing through by 6 gives

x=3.
