Let: eq 1:2x+5y=-55
eq 2:y=3x+6
by substituting eq 2 in eq 1 we get,
2x+5(3x+6)=-55
2x+15x+30+55=0
17x + 85=0
x=-85/17
x=-5
By substituting x value in eq 2,
we have,
y=3(-5)+6=-15+6=-9
2/12 or 1/6. You have to divide 2/3 by 4 to get what w equals to.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

We have

Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>


For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

X= 5 or -8
Add all the like terms and set it equal to 49, use quadratic formula or factoring.
Answer:
You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 3 1/4 pizzas. If you get rid of 3/4 of a pizza, you will end up with 2 2/4 pizzas.
To make it easier, you can just change the values into improper fractions: 3 1/4 = 13/4
13/4 - 3/4 = 10/4
10/4 = 2 2/4 pizzas
(2 2/4 = 2 1/2)
Anyways! You now have 2 and a half pizzas. You have 3 times the amount of pizza that your friend has. In other words, your friend has 1/3 the amount of pizza that you have. You can solve for this in two ways, whichever way you solve it is up to you.
- You can solve this problem by dividing the amount of food you have by 3:
which equals 0.8333... (the 3 is repeating). But you can just keep your final answer in fraction form if you want to: 
- You can solve this problem by multiplying 1/3 to the amount of food you have:

You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.
