Let

x-------> the number of points that the buffalo bills scored

y-------> the number of points that the Miami dolphins scored

we know that

x+y=66 -------> equation A

x=24+2y -------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

[24+2y]+y=66

3y=66-24

y=42/3=14\ points

<u>Find the value of x</u>

x=24+2*14=52\ points

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the number of points that the buffalo bills scored was 52

the number of points that the Miami dolphins scored was 14

You pack sandwiches for a hike with your friends. Each sandwich takes 2 slices of bread, and each hiker eats one sandwich.
Citrus2011 [14]

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

→ 1 sandwich = 2 slices of bread.

→ 1 hiker = 1 sandwich.

→ Then we have to find number of bread slices for n hikers .

→ Number of bread slices for 1 hiker = 2

→ Number of bread slices for 2 hikers = 2 × 2

→ For 3 hikers = 3 × 2

So in similar way

→ Number of bread slices for n hikers = 2×n → 2n

So <u>2</u><u>n</u><u> </u> is the answer.

to start to solve the system of equations below, which number would you multiply in the equation -2x-5y=-1? The two equations ar
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

  The first equation can be multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficients are -2 and 4. If the first one of these is multiplied by 2, it will be the opposite of the second of these. That is 2·(-2) = -4. When -4 and 4 are added, the result is 0, so the x-variable will be eliminated.

To solve these equations by "elimination", you look for simple relationships between the coefficients that will let you combine them to get zero.

_____

Here's the rest of the solution.

  2(-2x-5y) +(4x+2y) = 2(-1) +(8) . . . . after multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding the second equation

  -4x -10y +4x +2y = -2 +8 . . . . . the result of eliminating parentheses

  -8y = 6 . . . . . the result of collecting terms

  y = -6/8 = -3/4 . . . . divide by the y-coefficient

Since all of the coefficients in the second equation are even, a factor of 2 can be removed, and the equation written as ...

   2x +y = 4

This can be solved for x, so you have ...

  x = (4 -y)/2 = 2 -(y/2)

Filling in the above value of y, we find x to be ...

  x = 2 -(-3/4)/2

  x = 2 3/8

_____

<em>Comment on eliminating y instead of x</em>

If you divide the second equation by 2 so that y has a coefficient of 1, then you can multiply this equation by 5 to give y a coefficient that is the opposite of the coefficient -5 in the first equation. Then the elimination looks like

  (-2x -5y) +5(2x +y) = (-1) +5(4)

  -2x -5y +10x +5y = -1 +20 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  8x = 19 . . . . simplify

  x = 19/8 = 2 3/8 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
