Answer:

x = 7, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

50x - 2y = 230 → (1)

50x - 3y = 170 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term on both sides

y = 60

Substitute y = 60 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x

Substituting into (1)

50x - 2(60) = 230

50x - 120 = 230 ( add 120 to both sides )

50x = 350 ( divide both sides by 50 )

x = 7

On a map the distance between rip and Janeiro Brazil and San Jose Costa Rica is 4 inches.the scale on the map shows that 1 inch=

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The way a proportion is set is as follows;

$\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}$

The Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica is then found as 800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the distance between Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 4 inches

The map scale = 1 inch to 200 miles

To figure out how many miles it is or the actual distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica, we have;

$\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}$

Therefore, we have;

(4 inches × 200 miles)/(1 inche) = Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica

Which gives;

Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 800 miles.

If AC= 8x-14 and EC = 2x + 11, solve for x.

raketka [301]

Step-by-step explanation:

AC= 8x-14

AC+14=8x

x=(AC+14)÷8

EC=2x+11

EC-11=2x

x=(EC-11)÷2

GUYS HELP PLSS, I SWTG

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 equals 1 1/4

The common denominator for 1/6, 2/3, and 5/12 would be 12. So I made the denominators 12 which means 1/6 would turn into 2/12, 2/3 turns into 8/12, and 5/12 stays the same. When I add them all up I get 15/12. I can turn that into a mixed number which would be 1 3/12. I can simplify that down to 1 1/4.

#2 equals 3/4

The first thing you have to do is turn 2 2/3 and 1 3/4 into improper fractions. Which would turn 2 2/3 into 24/3 and 1 3/4 into 21/12. The next thing is you have to find a common denominator which would be 12. Next you have to turn the denominators into a 12 and change the numerator. Which makes the fractions: 24/12, 6/12, and 21/12. When you add 24/12 and 6/12 together you get 30/12 minus 21/12 you get 9/12. You can then simplify that to 3/4. 

#3 equals -1 17/36

The first thing you do is turn 3 5/18 into an improper fraction which would be 59/18. then you find a common denominator which would be 36 and make the denominators of those numbers into 36 which would be 11/36, 54/36, and 118/36. When you add up 11/36 and 54/36 you get 65. but when you - 65 by 118 you get -53 / 36. you can lend turn that into -1 17/36. 

I'm not sure about number 4 and I don't want to give you the wrong answer. Hopefully what I did show you helped!
