The answer 56 it’s already put in simplest form
She planted 7 zucchini, 14 cucumbers, and 22 tomatoes.
Let z = the number of zucchini planted. Since she planted twice as many cucumbers as zucchini, 2z is the number of cucumbers. She planted 8 more tomatoes than cucumbers, so 2z + 8 is the number of tomatoes. This gives us the equation
z + 2z + 2z + 8 = 43
Combining like terms, we have
5z + 8 = 43
Subtract 8 from each side:
5z + 8 - 8 = 43 - 8
5z = 35
Divide both sides by 5:
5z/5 = 35/5
z = 7
There were 7 zuccchini; 2*7 = 14 cucumbers; and 14+8=22 tomatoes.
This question doesn’t make sense maybe it was typed wrong?
Answer:
7 x - 8 y = 5
x - 8 y = -13
6 x = 18 subtract equations
x = 3
7 (3) - 8 y = 5
8 y = 16 solve for y
y = 2
Solution : (3, 2)
Check:
3 - 8 * 2 = -13 agrees with second equation
Answer:
2
