You can substitute what y is into the second equation, so:
3x + 4(2x + 1) = 26
3x + 8x + 4 = 26
11x + 4 = 26
- 4
11x = 22
÷ 11
x = 2
y = (2 × 2) + 1
y = 5 + 1
y = 5
So you get x as 2 and y as 5, I hope this helps!
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be number of females in the course
Number of males= 5x
total number of students= 5x+x
= 6x
Fraction of male students= number of male students/total number of students
= 5x/6x
= 5/6
Answer:
A. (2x-3)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Performing the long division indicated by the perimeter expression, you find ...
perimeter = (2x -3) + (10x +6)/(x^2 +2x)
Comparing this to the formula for the perimeter ...
perimeter = 2W +2L
where L is said to be of the form (ax +b)/(x^2 +2x)
we can match terms in the perimeter expression to see that ...
2W = 2x -3
2L = (10x +6)/(x^2 +2x)
The problem doesn't ask for it, but we can see that (a, b) = (5, 3). We can also see that ...
W = (2x -3)/2 . . . . . . . matches choice A
Odd degree and negative leading coefient
means it goes from the top left to bottom right
goes infinitely down
as x aproaches infinity, y approaches neagtive infinity
