Answer:
x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.
Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>
171x = 87x + 2129
Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides
84x = 2129
Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x
x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)
To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:
y = 171 (25.35)
y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)
You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.
For this case what you can do is the following rule of three:
m ---> 100%
x ----> 115%
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (115/100) * (m)
x = 1.15 * (m)
Answer:
a simplified expression to represent the number of members this year is:
x = 1.15 * (m)
Answer:
Elena's move will lead to the solution of the problem
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation 7.5d=2.5d, Lin divides each side by 2.5d, and Elena subtracts 2.5d from each side. Will both moves lead to the solution? Explain your reasoning
Given:
7.5d = 2.5d
Lin divides each side by 2.5d, Lin:
7.5d / 2.5d = 2.5d / 2.5d
3 = 1
This can not be the solution to the problem because 3 can not be Equal to 1
Elena subtracts 2.5d from each side
7.5d = 2.5d
7.5d - 2.5d = 2.5d - 2.5d
5d = 0
This can lead to the solution of the problem
Elena's move will lead to the solution of the problem
Answer: I am not to sure but I believe that the correct answer is 21
Step-by-step explanation: I believe this is the correct answer because on the number line the numbers generally follow a sequenced order beginning with the lowest number and increasing towards larger numbers. The lowest number in this question is 21 and in the American systems we read left to right causing the number line to begin with the lowest number from the left and going to the right. The order would be 21, 48, 53, 64, 95.
