Answer:
POINTS FOR HOW MANY?
THE ANSWER IS BRUCE
Step-by-step explanation:
Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:

Now you can solve the equation:

Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1
Answer:
There is a 3 in 9 chance
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you can just simplify to have 1-2 terms only. Eg:
13+2y+4y (this is a trinomial as it has 3 terms) can be simplified to just give 13+6y
Answer:
20ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two unknowns, the length and the width of the floor. Let us represent this by l and w respectively.
Firstly, we are told that the length of the floor is twice its width. This mathematically means that l = 2w
The width of the rectangular carpet is 2ft less than the width of the floor but the floor length is equal. This means that the width of the floor is (w - 2)ft
Now we are told that the area of the rectangular carpet is 160 sq.ft
This means the length of the carpet multiplied by the width is 160
Mathematically:
l * (w-2) = 160
We know that l = 2w, if we substitute this:
2w(w - 2) = 160
w(w -2) = 80
w^2 -2w = 80
w^2 - 2w - 80 = 0
w^2 -10w + 8w -80 = 0
w(w -10) + 8(w - 10) = 0
(w + 8)(w -10) = 0
w = -8 or 10
Since distance cannot be negative, we ignore the -8 and use the 10 only
Hence the width is 10ft
The length is 2 times the width. The length is thus 2 * 10ft = 20ft
