Answer:
x=-2, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
we can rearrange the questions to make it easier
y=3x+3
2y=-3x-12
if you add the two equations, you get
3y=0x-9
so y=-9/3 = -3
plug y into one of the equations
-3=3x+3
-6=3x
x=-2
and then check your work by plugging into the other equation:
2*-3=-3(-2)-12
-6=6-12
-6=-6
It is taller by 7 ft and 3 inches
You can first convert both values to inches and then subtract. Finally convert them back to ft and inches
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a(n) = -3n , n>= 1
Discussion:
a(1) = -3
a(2) = -6
a(3) = -9
a(4) = -12
The pattern looks like a(n) = -3n
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
One number is 17 and the other is 85.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be m and n. Let m = (1/5)n. Note that m+n = 18.
Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18. Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85. m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.
