[(upper legth + lower length) x height] divided by 2
Answer:
x = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
28 + x - 4 + 2x = 180
Simplify the left side
3x + 24 = 180
Subtract 24 from each side
3x = 156
Divide each side by 3
x = 52
Answer: 3x + 4c + 11
Step-by-step explanation: Combine like terms.
Answer:
3 gallons of carpet shampoo
Step-by-step explanation:
room area: 16 * 15 = 240 ft
1 gallon carpet shampoo: 80 ft
240/80 = 3
3 gallons of carpet shampoo are needed.
Answers:
So the solution is (x,y) = (4, -1)
=============================================================
Work Shown:
6x + 7y = 17
6x + 7( y ) = 17
6x + 7( -3x+11 ) = 17 ... replace every copy of y with -3x+11
6x - 21x + 77 = 17
-15x = 17-77
-15x = -60
x = -60/(-15)
x = 4
We'll use this x value to find y
y = -3x+11
y = -3(4)+11 ... replace x with 4
y = -12+11
y = -1
We have x = 4 and y = -1 pair up together to give us the solution (x,y) = (4, -1)
------------------------
To check the solution, we plug x = 4 and y = -1 into each equation
Plugging the values into the first equation leads to...
y = -3x+11
-1 = -3(4)+11
-1 = -1
This is effectively already done in the last part of the previous section. But it doesn't hurt to verify like this regardless.
We'll need to verify the second equation as well.
6x + 7y = 17
6(4) + 7(-1) = 17
24 - 7 = 17
17 = 17
We get a true equation, so the solution is confirmed with both equations. Overall, the solution to the system of equations is confirmed. This system is independent and consistent.
