Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10
Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
There are 13 girls and 4 more students that are boys that made an A grade. Thus there are 13+4=17 students that are either girls or A students.
The probability of choosing a girl or A student is 17/30.
Answer: x=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the parentheses by 2/3. 9=2/3x+8.
Multiply both sides by 3 . 27=2x+24
Move the term. When moved to the left side it changes from positive to a negative. -2x=24-27.
-2x=-3
Divide both sides by -2
x=3/2 (x=1 1/2, x=1.5)
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.
Then we have two equations.
(1) L – s = 25
(2) s = L/6 Multiply both sides by 6
6s = L Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)
6s – s = 25 Combine like terms
5s = 25 Divide both sides by 5
s = 5
The value of the smaller number is 5.
