What are the directions for this?
Answer:
y=x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
this is the equation because it shows the actual relationship between x and y
Answer:
A. the number of pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
.01 is the numerical value of a penny
Let x be the page number then x+1 would be the other page number (because the pages are two facing pages which means they follow on consecutively)
Then
(x)(x+1) = 156
x^2 + x - 156 = 0
x = 12 or x = -13( but x can't be a negative number)
so x = 12
and the next page is 13
Answer:
b. (2, 5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying the offered choices seems the fastest way to find the answer. The second choice works in all equations, hence is the solution.
Another strategy you can use is to see if the equations are dependent. Here, it looks like adding twice the third equation to the other two eliminates at least the x- and y-variables. If that eliminates z, then there are infinite solutions. Instead, it gives the equation ...
7z = 21
z = 3 . . . . . divide by 7
This answer is consistent with choice B, confirming that answer and eliminating the other choices.
