Solve for x for x: x+2y=2
x+2y +-2y=2+-2y (add -2y on both sides.)
x=-2y+2
Substitute : -2y+2 for x in
4x-y=4:
4(-2y+2)-y=4
-9y+8=4 Simplify both sides of the equation.
-9y+8+-8=4+-8 Add -8 to both sides.
-9y=-4
-9/-9=-4-9 Divide both sides by -9
y=4/9
Substitute 4/9 for y in
x=-2y+2
x=-2(4/9)+2
x=10/9
y=4/9,x=10/9
Answer:
7/12 OR 0.58 (2.d.p)
Step-by-step explanation:
Product means that the two rational numbers are being multiplied to get 7.
The question also tells us that one of them is 12. Therefore we can write an equation to express this information where we represent the unknown rational number using the letter 'r':
r x 12 = 7
Rearrange to find r:
r x 12 / 12 = 7 /12
r = 7/12 = 0.5833....
= 0.58 (2.d.p)
Hope this helped!
Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.
