You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)
A = Anthony's weight
B = Anthony's brother's weight
A = 2B + 9 Plug in Anthony's weight
59 = 2B + 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
50 = 2B DIvide both sides by B
25 = B Switch the sides to make it easier to read
B = 25
Anthony's brother weighs 25 pounds.
Answer:
9x squared + 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to find the factors of a pair of numbers, is simply to
write out the factors until you find the ones that they have in common.
So in this case, these factors would be listed as follows:
20: 1,2,4,5,10,20
50: 1,2,5,10,25,50.
From looking at these numbers, we can therefore see that the common factors are: 1,2,5,10
