Answer:
Sophie has 12.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of cards Sophie has
y -----> number of cards Jackie has
we know that
x+y=30 -----> equation A
y=x+5 -----> equation B
Solve by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(x+5)=30
2x=30-5
x=12.5 cards
Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number
Answer:
replace the ys with -3 then solve it

Hey!To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.
Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.
(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y
Now, we can use substitution to solve.
(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17
Now, you plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.
x = 3*17
x = 51
hope this helps!!
the equilibrium point, is when Demand = Supply, namely, when the amount of "Q"uantity demanded by customers is the same as the Quantity supplied by vendors.
That occurs when both of these equations are equal to each other.
let's do away with the denominators, by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case, 12.
![\bf \stackrel{\textit{Supply}}{-\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{Demand}}{\cfrac{2}{3}Q+1}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by 12}}{12\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}Q+35 \right)=12\left( \cfrac{2}{3}Q+1 \right)} \\\\\\ -9Q+420=8Q+12\implies 408=17Q\implies \cfrac{408}{17}=Q\implies \boxed{24=Q} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using the found Q in the Demand equation}}{P=\cfrac{2}{3}(24)+1}\implies P=16+1\implies \boxed{P=17} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{Equilibrium}{(24,17)}~\hfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7BSupply%7D%7D%7B-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7DQ%2B35%7D~~%3D~~%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7BDemand%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7DQ%2B1%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Bmultiplying%20by%2012%7D%7D%7B12%5Cleft%28%20-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7DQ%2B35%20%5Cright%29%3D12%5Cleft%28%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7DQ%2B1%20%5Cright%29%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20-9Q%2B420%3D8Q%2B12%5Cimplies%20408%3D17Q%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B408%7D%7B17%7D%3DQ%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7B24%3DQ%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Busing%20the%20found%20Q%20in%20the%20Demand%20equation%7D%7D%7BP%3D%5Ccfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%2824%29%2B1%7D%5Cimplies%20P%3D16%2B1%5Cimplies%20%5Cboxed%7BP%3D17%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7BEquilibrium%7D%7B%2824%2C17%29%7D~%5Chfill)
