y − 5 = 3(x − 1)
y = 0 => 0 - 5 = 3(x - 1)
- 5 = 3x - 3
- 5 + 3 = 3x
3x = - 2
x = - 2/3
x = - 0,6
x = 0
y - 5 = 3(0 - 1)
y = 5 - 3
y = 2
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you would subtract 2x from both sides to get:
1x = 5
Then you divide both sides by 1:
x = 5
Gold pieces the first leprechaun has: x
Gold pieces the second leprechaun has: y
<span>
The first leprechaun says to the other, ‘Give me seven of your gold pieces and I will have twice as many as you!’:
The first leprechaun would have x+7
The second leprechaun would have y-7
</span>I will have twice as many as you:
(1) x+7=2(y-7)
<span>(1) x+7=2y-14
(1) x+7-7-2y=2y-14-7-2y
(1) x-2y=-21
</span>The other one replies, ‘No way! Give me seven of yours and we’ll have the same number’
The first leprechaun would have x-7
The second leprechaun would have y+7
We’ll have the same number:
(2) x-7=y+7
(2) x-7+7-y=y+7+7-y
(2) x-y=14
<span>How many gold pieces does the first leprechaun have?
x=?
We have a system with 2 equations and two unknows (x and y). We need to solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(2) x-y=14
Using the method of substitution, we can isolating y in the second equation:
(2) x-y=14
(2) x-y+y-14=14+y-14
(2) x-14=y
(2) y=x-14
And we can replace y in the first equation by x-14, and solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(1) x-2(x-14)=-21
(1) x-2x+28=-21
(1) -x+28=-21
(1) -x+28-28=-21-28
(1) -x=-49
(1) (-1)*(-x=-49)
(1) x=49
Answer: T</span>he first leprechaun has 49 gold pieces
Answer:
11 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>"Angles T and U are a linear pair. Angle U measure (9x+6) and Angle T measures(6x+9). What is the value of x, in degrees?"</em>
We know that a linear pair MUST add up to 180 degrees, therefore (9x+6)+(6x+9)= 180
Now for some algebra-
(9x+6)+(6x+9)= 180
6 and nine can both be divided by 3, so we will do that for simplicity:
((9x+6)+(6x+9)= 180)/3=
(3x+2)+(2x+3)=60
We will now separate the parenthesis, as they serve no purpose anymore.
(3x+2)+(2x+3)=60
3x+2+2x+3=60
Combine terms
5x+5=60
Take away the 5 to isolate the variables
5x+5=60
-5
5x=55
Divide by 5
5x=55
/5
x=11
The value of x is 11 degrees.
Answer: false
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponents would have to have a different sign from each other (positive or negative), not the integer.
