Answer:

Peter 8 and Alice 10 home runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the home runs by peter be represented by "x" and the home runs of Alice be represented by "y".

Altogether the hit 18 home runs. This means sum of x and y would be 18. So we can write the equation as:

x + y = 18                                      Equation 1

Peter hit twice the difference of the  number of home runs Alice hit and 6. Difference of the  number of home runs Alice hit and 6 is y - 6 and twice of this difference would be 2(y - 6). So, we can set up the second equation as:

x = 2(y - 6)                                     Equation 2

Substituting the value of x from Equation 2 into Equation 1, we get:

2(y - 6) + y = 18

2y - 12 + y = 18

3y = 30

y = 10

Substituting the value of y in Equation 2, we get:

x = 2(y - 6) = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8

This means, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.

Solutions to 2 variables equations
pychu [463]

Answer:

C) both

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+7=2y-3

Plug in

(2,1)

-4(2) +7 = 2(1)-3

-8 + 7 = 2 - 3

-1 = -1

So (2,1) is the solution

(5,-5)

-4(5) +7 = 2(-5)-3

-20 + 7 = -10 - 3

-13 = -13

So (5,-5) is the solution

Answer:

C) both

Bob bought 16 packs of cola. Each pack had 8 cans. He drank 9 of the cans. How many cans are left?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

119 Cans Left

Step-by-step explanation:

If bob brought 16 packs of soda, and each pack had 8 cans, there would be 128 cans. This is because 1 pack is worth 8 cans.

16 × 8 = 128

128 - 9 = 119

Bob drank 9 of the cans, which is the same as subtracting from 128. This gives us the answer.

Which point is NOT on the line y = 5x + 1?
12345 [234]

To find which point is NOT on the line y = 5x + 1, we just need to plug each point into equation y=5x+1 to see which one point satisfies this equation.

check for (1,6)

y=5x+1

or 6=5*1+1

or 6=5+1

or 6=6

Which is TRUE.

--------

check for (2,11)

y=5x+1

or 11=5*2+1

or 11=10+1

or 11=11

Which is TRUE.

--------

check for (0,1)

y=5x+1

or 1=5*0+1

or 1=0+1

or 1=1

Which is TRUE.

--------

check for (-1,6)

y=5x+1

or 6=5*(-1)+1

or 6=-5+1

or 6=-4

Which is FALSE.

--------

Since only point (-1,6) fails to satisfy the given equation hence point (-1,6) is the final answer.

Simplify the expression given below. 1/(2x^2-4x) -2/x
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

(9 - 4 x)/(x (2 x - 4))

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

1/(2 x^2 - 4 x) - 2/x

Put each term in 1/(2 x^2 - 4 x) - 2/x over the common denominator x (2 x - 4): 1/(2 x^2 - 4 x) - 2/x = ((x (2 x - 4))/(2 x^2 - 4 x))/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)):

((x (2 x - 4))/(2 x^2 - 4 x))/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))

A common factor of 2 x - 4 and 2 x^2 - 4 x is 2 x - 4, so (x (2 x - 4))/(2 x^2 - 4 x) = (x (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)):

((x (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)))/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))

(x (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)) = 1:

1/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))

1/(x (2 x - 4)) - (2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)) = (1 - 2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4)):

(1 - 2 (2 x - 4))/(x (2 x - 4))

-2 (2 x - 4) = 8 - 4 x:

(8 - 4 x + 1)/(x (2 x - 4))

Add like terms. 1 + 8 = 9:

Answer: (9 - 4 x)/(x (2 x - 4))
