X would be your variable <span>A variable is a </span>quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment. Typically, we use a single letter to represent a variable. The letters x , y , and z are common generic symbols used for variables.

Witch means that X can not be more than -15 it has to be less or equal to.

Solve each system by eliminating one of the variables by addition or<br> subtraction.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

1) x- y = 8

x + y = 12

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

2x = 20

divided by 2 on both sides

x = 10

substitute the value of x in the equation 1

10 - y = 8

-y = 8- 10

y =2

[x , y]

[10 , 2]

2) 2x - y = 4

3x + y = 6

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

5x = 10

x = 2

substitute the value of x in the equation

2(2) - y = 4

4 - y = 4

y = 0

[x ; y]

[2; 0]

3) x + 2y = 10

x + 4y = 14

multiply equation 1 by - 1

-x -2y = -10

x + 4y = 14

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

2 y = 4

y = 2

substitute the value of y in the equation 1

x + 2(2) = 10

x + 4 = 10

x = 6

[x ; y]

[6 ; 2]

4 ) 3x + y = 9

y = 3x + 6

simplify the expression

3x + y = 9

- 3x + y = 6

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

2y = 15

y = 15/2

substitute the value of y in equation 1

3x + 15/ 2 = 9

3x = 3/2

x = 1/2

[x ; y]

[1/2 ; 15/ 2]

5) 4x + 5y = 15

6x - 5y = 18

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

10 x = 33

× = 33/10

substitute the value of x in equation I

4 (33/10) + 5y = 15

66/5 + 5y =15

5y = 9/5

y = 9/25

[x ; y]

[33/10 ; 9/25]

6) 5x = 7y

x + 7y = 21

in equation I move the variable to the left

5x - 7y = 0

x + 7 y = 21

eliminate one variable by adding the equations

6x = 21

x = 7/2

substitute the value of x in the equation

5(7/2) = 7y

35/2 = 7y

5/2 = y

[x ; y ]

[7/2 ; 5/2 ]

Find the smallest positive integer n such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

37 is the smallest positive integer n such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find the prime factors of 247:

247 = 13 x 19 (which are both prime).

So now we need to find a number (the smallest one) that is of the form (n)(n+1)(n+2) (the product of three consecutive numbers) and that is divisible by both 13 and 19 (and therefore divisible by 247)

Let's take a look at the multiples of 13: 13, 26, 39, 52...

Let's take a look at the multiples of 19: 19, 38, 57...

We can see that the first time we have two multiples close together are the 38 (for 19) and the 39 (for 17).

So, if our number has both 38 and 39 as factors, then it will be divisible by 247.

However, we need not two but three consecutive numbers, and since we want the number to be the smallest positive integer, we will add 37 (since our other choice would be to add 40 and that would make the number bigger) and thus our number is (37)(38)(39) or in other words (37)(37 + 1)(37 + 2) and therefore this is the smallest positive number such that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 247.

HELP ME PLZ I REALLY NEED HELP

<h3>Answer: Choice B)    15x,   -x,   and 33x</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Like terms are when we have the same variable attached to the number. The variable must have the same exponent as well.

For instance, 2x and 3x are like terms since they both have x. Something like 7x and 8x^2 are not like terms because the exponents don't match.

Terms like 17y and 17 are not like terms because the second term doesn't have a y tacked on. If you have nothing but constants, then those are like terms as they all have the same thing in common in that they don't have a variable attached to them.

With all this in mind, we can see that 15x,  -x,  and 33x is the answer since each have x as part of the variable term. The exponents are all the same (all being 1).
