Let the number of red skittles be = x
Let the number of orange skittles be = y
Red skittles are 10 less than orange, this gives
x = y-10................(i)
Orange Skittles are twice the number of red skittles, this gives
y = 2x.............(ii)
Incorporating the value of y from second equation into first
x = 2x - 10
hence, x = 10
Now putting the value of x in equation second
y = 2x
y = 2*10
y = 20
Hence, the number of red skittles are 10 and the number of orange skittles are 20.
Answer:
I think your answer would be < 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
G
Step-by-step explanation:
Function Y has a greater rate of change
Answer:
7 x - 8 y = 5
x - 8 y = -13
6 x = 18 subtract equations
x = 3
7 (3) - 8 y = 5
8 y = 16 solve for y
y = 2
Solution : (3, 2)
Check:
3 - 8 * 2 = -13 agrees with second equation
