Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[1] 3x - 4y = -24
[2] -x - 16y = -52
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
-4y + 3x = -24 -16y - x = -52
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = -16y + 52
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 3•(-16y+52) - 4y = -24
[1] - 52y = -180
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 52y = 180
[1] y = 45/13
// By now we know this much :
x = -16y+52
y = 45/13
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -16(45/13)+52 = -44/13
Solution :
{x,y} = {-44/13,45/13}
X= 1st integer
x+2= 2nd integer
x+4= 3rd integer
Add the integers together
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)= 279
combine like terms
3x + 6= 279
subtract 6 from both sides
3x= 273
divide both sides by 3
x= 91 first integer
Substitute x=91 to find 2nd & 3rd integers
2nd Integer
=x+2
=91+2
=93
3rd Integer
=x+4
=91+4
=95
ANSWER: The three test scores are 91, 93 and 95.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: Value of x is used to consider unknown value. The letter “x” is commonly used in algebra to indicate an unknown value. It is referred to as a “variable” or, in some cases, a “unknown.” In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable. ... A variable need not be “x,” but might be “y,” "w," or any other letter, name, or symbol
