You can set y = to each side of the equation, then multiply by the denominator and put into standard form.

Left side:
.. y = 1/4x -3
.. 4y = x -12 . . . . multiply by 4
.. 4y -x = -12 . . . subtract x

Right side:
.. y = 1/2x +8
.. 2y = x +16 . . . multiply by 2
.. 2y -x = 16 . . . subtract x

These equations correspond to selection B.

Zepler [3.9K]

A fraction/probability is created by taking what we want and putting that over the total.

In this case, we want yellow out of the total number of marbles.

Yellow Marbles = 1

Total Marbles = 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 12

Probability/Fraction = 1 / 12

Hope this helps!

A jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces. The amount of gold in each bracelet is 5 grams and the amo
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The jeweler made 9 necklaces.

The jeweler made 8 bracelets.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of bracelets

y = number of necklaces

17 = x + y

238 = 5x + 22y

Make one of the coefficients, x, the same.

17 = x + y

Multiply this equation by 5.

85 = 5x + 5y

Subtract the equations to get rid of x.

(238 = 5x + 22y) - (85 = 5x + 5y)

(5x - 5x) + (22y - 5y) = 238 - 85

22y - 5y = 238 - 85

17y = 153

y = 153/17 = 9

The jeweler made 9 necklaces. Substitute this back into one of the equations to find x.

17 = x + y

17 = x + 9

17 - 9 = x

x = 8

238 = 5x + 22y

238 = 5x + 22(9)

238 = 5x + 198

238 - 198 = 5x

40 = 5x

x = 40/5

x = 8

The jeweler made 8 bracelets.

Can somebody help me in this question? It would be very appreciated! :)
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = width × length

let width be w then length is 2w + 3 ( 3 more than twice the width ), then

A = w(2w + 3) ← distribute

   = 2w² + 3w

When w = 4 , then

A = 2(4)² + 3(4)

   = 2(16) + 12

    = 32 + 12

     = 44 ft²
