Answer:
x = 3/2 | y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
- y = 2x - 6. . . .(i)
- y = -4x + 3. . . . (ii)
Substituting from equation (i) for y:
==> 2x - 6 = -4x + 3
==> 2x + 4x = 6 + 3
==> 6x = 9
<em>dividing both </em><em>sides by 3</em><em>:</em>
==> 2x = 3
==> x = 3/2
Substituting 3/2 for x in equation (i):
==> y = 2(3/2) - 6
==> y = 3 - 6
==> y = -3
Answer:
45 120 144 that the ones to pick
This is how you solve it; but first of all convert the percent into a decimal;55%= 0.55
0.55x = 164 (divide by 0.55 on both sides)
x = 164/0.55
x = 298.18 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
so 164 is 55% of 298.18(rounded)
So if the bag contains half as many red marbles as blue ones, and there are 8 reds then there are 16 blues. 16 + 8= 24 if you want there to be 1/4 white marbles add 6. 6/30 is 1/4.
So the answer comes out to be 30 marbles in the bag
