3x + y = 3
7x + 2y = 1
First isolate one of the variables (x or y) in one of the equations.
Isolate "y" in the first equation(because it is the easiest to isolate) and substitute it into the second equation.
3x + y = 3 Subtract 3x on both sides
3x - 3x + y = 3 - 3x
y = 3 - 3x
7x + 2y = 1
7x + 2(3 - 3x) = 1 [since y = 3 - 3x, you can substitute (3-3x) for "y"]
Multiply/distribute 2 into (3 - 3x)
7x + (3(2) - 3x(2)) = 1
7x + 6 - 6x = 1
x + 6 = 1 Subtract 6 on both sides
x = -5
Now that you know "x", substitute it into one of the equations (I will do both)
3x + y = 3
3(-5) + y = 3 [since x = -5, you can plug in -5 for "x"]
-15 + y = 3 Add 15 on both sides
y = 18
7x + 2y = 1
7(-5) + 2y = 1
-35 + 2y = 1 Add 35 on both sides
2y = 36 Divide 2 on both sides
y = 18
x = -5, y = 18 or (-5, 18)
Step-by-step explanation:
to my guess the rule of a reflection will be about the x-axis since only the values of y have changed
Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
10% of 570 = 57 (dividing by 10). Times that by 3, which is 171. Now divide 171 by 3, equals 57 (the answer).
Answer:.75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 205 miles in 5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to find our answer is to first find how many miles the car can go in one hour. We would se the equation (123 divided by 3 to find our answer) which would give us 41 miles per hour. Then, we would proceed to multiply 41 by 5 which would give us our answer, 205 miles in 5 hours. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
