Answer:
1. X = 1 - 3y
2. -5/6x + 7/3
Those are the answers to the problems
Joel = j, Mark = m, Sandra = s
j + m + s = 120
m = 3j
j = 1/2 s --> s = 2j
plug in (substitute) each letter to make it in terms of only j: j + m + s = 120
j + 3j + 2j = 120
6j = 120
6j/6 = 120/6
j = 20
now plug in for the j & s equation:
s = 2j = 2(20) = 40
Therefore Sandra has 40 coins!
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation 3/2(4x-2)-3x = 5-(x+2)
Open the parenthesis
3/2(4x) - 3/2(2) -3x = 5-x-2
6x-3-3x = 3-x
3x-3 = 3-x
Collect like terms
3x+x = 3+3
4x = 6
Divide both sides by
4x/4 = 6/4
x = 3/2
Hence the value of x is 3/2
The x-intercept is + 6 and the y-intercept is + 10
