X=205 y=41 You come across these answers by making an equation or system of equations based on the word problem given. 1. x+y=246 and 2. x÷y=5 . The you would multiply by y on both sides and get x=5y . Then you would substitute for x in the first equation and get (5y)+y=246 . Then you would get 6y=246 . Them you would divide by 6 on both sides and get y=246÷6 . Then you would get y=41. Then you would plug the y value into the first equation. You would get that x+(41)= 246, subtract on both sides and get x=246-41, then you would get an answer of x=205.

What is the result of adding these two equations?
Maru [420]

{-2x + 7y = -5

{-2x - 4y = 6              | · (-1)

{-2x + 7y = -5

{2x + 4y = -6               (+)

----------------------------------

-2x + 2x + 7y + 4y = -5 + (-6)

11y = -11          | : 11

y = -1

{y = -1

{2x + 4y = -6

{y = -1

{2x + 4 · (-1) = -6

{y = -1

{2x - 4 = -6       | + 4

{y = -1

{2x = -2              | : 2

{y = -1

{x = -1

There are 10 gallons of water in a tank. Each minute, 4 more gallons are added. The volume of the water in a tank after t minute
lukranit [14]

Answer:

V = 10 + 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation, look at the pattern:

  • 10 gallons + 4 gallons = 14 gallons after 1 minute
  • 10 + 4 + 4 = 18 after 2 minutes
  • 10 + 4+4+4 = 22 after 3 minutes.

The pattern is 10 + 4 (t) = V
