We define the variables first:
x = number of male cousins
y = number of females cousins
We write the system of equations:
x + y = 9
x = y-2
We solve the system:
Equation 1:
x + y = 9
(y-2) + y = 9
2y-2 = 9
y = 11/2 = 5.5
Equation 2:
x = 5.5-2
x = 3.5
Answer:
Although physically it does not make sense, mathematically the answer is:
number of male cousins = 3.5
number of females cousins = 5.5
Answer:
Its letter A
the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
when it a big negative number it makes it the smallest
so it goes -418,-86,-66,-15
First you add like terms in which this case is -.46x and .16x which equals -.3x then divide 6.6 into -.3 which is -22. x = -22
Answer:
D) 7.7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
L/W=11cm/10cm=x/7cm
cross multiply to find x
10x=77
divide 10 by both sides
x=7.7
