Answer:
x = 2, y = 7, z = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y - z = -3 (1)
3x - y + z = 11 (2)
x - 4y + z = -14 (3)
add (1) and (2)
4x = 8 x = 2
add (1) and (3)
2x - 3y = -17
2(2) - 3y = -17
-3y = -17 - 4
-3y = -21
y = 7
Find z using any equation
x + y - z = -3
2 + 7 - z = -3
9 - z = -3
z = 12
Answer:
(4,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 4 -------eqn 1
4y = x + 12 ------eqn 2
From eqn 1 y = 2x - 4; insert in eqn 2
4 (2x-4) = x + 12 (open the bracket)
8x - 16 = x + 12 (taking like figures to the same side, sign changes)
8x - x = 12 + 16
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
From eqn 1
y = 2x - 4
y = 2(4) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x,y) = (4,4)
Just divide 8.4 by 6. And you’ll get 1.4 ounces on each piece of pizza.
