SVEN [57.7K]4 years ago

Answer:

x = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Arrange both equations so that the constant is isolated

3x - 2y = 14

6x + y = 18

2. Multiply both sides of first equation by a value that will cancel out a variable when added to the second equation

(-2) 3x - 2y = 14 (-2)

-6x + 4y = -28

3. Add both equations together

  -6x + 4y = -28

<u>+  6x  +  y   =  18</u>

    0x + 5y  = -10

4. Simplify

5y = -10

y = -2

5. Substitute y-value into one of the original equations to solve for x

3x = 2y + 14

3x = 2(-2) + 14

3x = -4 + 14

3x = 10

x = 10/3

On a team, 7 girls and 2 boys scored a total of 64 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of point scored by the 7 girls and 2 boys be x and y respectively.

Thus, since 7 girls and 2 boys scored a total of 64 points, then;

7x + 2y = 64 - - - (1)

Also, difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 2 boys is 48. Thus;

7x - 2y = 48 - - - (2)

Add eq(1) to (eq 2) to get;

14x = 64 + 48

14x = 112

x = 112/14

x = 8

Put 8 for x in eq(1) to get;

7(8) + 2y = 64

56 + 2y = 64

2y = 64 - 56

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Thus,each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points
