2x+3x=15 and x+y=6 what is x and y

Answer: x=3 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant 2x+3y=15 as the first problem. You have to make either both the x’s or both the y’all equal in both equations first. Multiply the second equation by 2 (for x’s) and you’ll get 2x+2y=12. The 2x cancels out so you’re left with 3y=15 and 2y=12. Subtract 2y=12 from 3y=15 and you get y=3.

Repeat to figure out x. Multiple second equation by 3 (for equal y’s) and you get 3x+3y=18. This time the first equation is being subtracted from the second one. (3x+3y=18) - (2x+3y=15). Y’s cancel out and you’re left with (3x=18)-(2x=15. Subtract and you get x=3

The product of two numbers is 713. The first number is 9 more than the second number. Which equation can be used to find x, the
Alina [70]
In this problem, it is given that the greater number is represented by x. With this, the smaller number which is 9 less than the greater number may be represented by x - 9. The product of the two numbers is 713 and may be expressed as 
 
                                           (x)(x -9) = 713

The equation above is the answer to the problem.

vichka [17]

Answer:

11.43 gallons used exactly per week asuming not changes in schedule or any other reasons to drive and that a one way trip is 24 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

48 as total for two trips

five of these need to be done, so 240 miles a week assuming no other reason to drive

240 / 21 = 10 with remainder 30

so 11 and remainder 9

9/21 = nearly .43 gallons, which means as a minimum she shouldn't go below 11.5 and better yet 12 gallons.
