It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
Answer:
g/8 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of employees = 8
Total games sold = g
Average sales per employee = total games sold / number of employees = g/8
Chris sold 17 fewer games than the average sales per employee :
Chris sale = average sale per employee - 17
Chris sales = g/8 - 17
8x - y = 54
8x + 2y = 60
subtracting, we get -3y = -6
y = 2
x = 7
Answer is (c) (7,2)
Answer:
no
because it doesn't work with the first equation
The last two are the answers
