Answer:
Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify what you know:
1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.
2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.
We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.
23 = x + (x + 7)
16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)
x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)
So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.
8 + 7 = ?
? = 15
Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression;
5x+2y=67 ...1
x=3y−7 ....2
Substitute 2 into 1
5(3y-7)+2y = 67
15y - 35 + 2y = 67
17y = 67+35
17y = 102
y = 102/17
y =6
Recall that x = 3y - 7
x = 3(6) - 7
x = 18 - 7
x = 11
Hence the value of x is 11
