A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
Heres the work g..........
Answer:
0.15kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
We are told that
0.75 kg of cortos weights 5times the mas of the onion
We want to find the mass of 1 onion
Hence
0.75 kgcortos = 5 onions
x cortos = 1 onions
x= 0.75/5
x= 0.15kg
Hence 1 onion will weigh 0.15kg
None of them match the answer is really (-2,2), (-4,2), and (-2,8).
Answer:
Rephrase that so that x=the number.
3+2x=x
(-2x) => 3=-x
(*-1) => -3=x
Therefore the number is -3!
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps :)
