4x - 5y = -12
-x + 5y = 18
Add the equations together:
4x + -x = 3x
-5y + 5y = 0
-12 + 18 = 6
So now you have:
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 2
Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:
4(2) -5y = -12
8 -5y = -12
Subtract 8 from both sides:
-5y = -20
Divide both sides by -5:
Y = 4
The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)
Answer:
3 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
d=3t is our formula.
d being the distance (9 inches for this problem)
t is the time in minutes
Substituting our known information would make our equation look like:
9 = 3t
to solve for t we divide both sides of the equation by 3
9/3 = 3t/3
3 = t
So if a snail travels 3 inches per minute, it will have traveled 9 inches in 3 minutes.
Step 1: -3(x+2y=3)
Step 2: -3x-6y=-9
Step 3: 3x cancels out with -3x
Step 4: add 2y and -2y, and add 3 and 5
Step 5: the answer is NO SOLUTION or INFINITE SOLUTION
Y is the number of movies
x is the number of hours
It takes 2 hours per movie
Thus:
y = x/2
2y = x
x - 2y = 0
The answer is C
