Youn could test all of the options by putting 8 and 3 in for a and b.

A.    a - b = 5
       8 - 3 = 5
            5 = 5

B.   a + b = 5
      8 + 3 = 5
            11 ≠ 5

C.   a - b = 8
      8 - 3 = 8
           5 ≠ 8

D.   a + b = 8
      8 + 3 = 8
            11 ≠ 8

As you can see, the only one that works is A. a - b = 5.

Số táo của An, Bình, Chi là như nhau. An cho đi 17 quả , Chi cho đi 19 quả thì lúc này số táo của Chi gấp 5 lần tổng số táo còn

Answer:

So, the initial number of apples is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of apples of An, Binh, and Chi are the same. An gave away 17 apples, Chi gave away 19 apples, so now Chi's apples are 5 times higher than the total remaining apples of An and Binh. How many apples did each of you have at first? (Solve the above problem by equation or system of equations)

Let the initial numbers of apples is a.

An gave 17 apples

Chi gave 19 apples

So,

x - 19 = 5 (x - 17 + x)

x - 19 = 5 (2x - 17)

x - 19 = 10 x - 85

9 x = 66

x = 7

What is the solution to the system of equations?<br><br> 6x – 9y = 16<br><br> 2x – 3y = 7
kifflom [539]
The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.
\left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {-6x + 9y = -21}} \right.
Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement \left \{ {{6x-9y=16} \atop {2x-3y=7}} \right. is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
