A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
Answer:
b = 9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b ^2 = c^2
Given:
a = 12
b = ?
c = 15
Plug in values:
12^2 + b^2 = 12^2
Solve for b^2:
b^2 = 15^2 - 12^2
b^2 = 225 - 144
b^2 = 81
Take square root of both sides to find b:
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(81)
b = 9
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
I think you wrote something wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Alaina has $7 in her bank account and Joel had $48 in his Joel already has more then Alaina but I will attempt to teach you how to solve these types of problems.
for this example I'm giving Alaina 79 dollars.
First we know were starting with 79 dollars and increasing 6 dollars each day so the equation for this is; y = 6x + 79 that is Alaina's equation.
For Joel our equation will be; y = 8x + 48.
Since they already have 79 and 48 dollars in their bank we put those as our B in the equation cause they are our y-intercepts. (Y = mx + b) Next we know their increasing by 6 and 8 dollars a day so we make those our m. Once we have these equations we can plot them and see where the lines meet. (thats our answer) I plotted them on desmos graphing calculator.
They crossed at (15.5, 172) Which means it will take 16 days for Joel to catch up they will both have 172 dollars in the bank account on the 16th day.
Hope this helps!
Well, you would istribute
using
a(b+c)=ab+ac
so
3(g+5)=3(g)+3(5)=3g+15
2(3g-6)=2(3g)+2(-6)=6g-12
now we gots
3g+15+6g-12
using commutative, we can arrange and group like terms because
a+b=b+a
so
3g+6g+15-12
add
9g+3
