Answer:
y=15
x=43
(any variable can be used, I used x and y to make it easier to show)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=58
x-y=28
get x by its self
x=58-y
then subsitute into the other equation
(58-y)-y=28
58-2y=28
-2y=-30
y=15
sub. again
x+15=58
x=43
I don't either it is quite hard to be fair
Answer:
the answer is 7.2 10³
Step-by-step explanation:
7.2 10³
There are 9 two-year-olds and 18 each of 3 and 4 year olds.
To solve this we could write and solve the equation below, letting x be the number of 3 and 4 year olds.
x/2 + x + x = 45
x + 2x + 2x = 90
5x = 90
x = 18
From here, we just divide 18 by 2 to get the number of 2 year olds.
