So what you would need to add to get -6 is -5-1 then your answer would be -6 hope this helps!
Answer:
The number of plums = 4
The number of peaches = 16
The number of nectarines = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of peaches be = x
Let the number of nectarines be = y
Let the number of plums be = z
A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums. This means that
The number of peaches = 4 X the number of plums.
i.e x = 4z
The box has 3 fewer nectarines than plums. This means that
Number of nectarines = number of plums - 3
i.e y = z - 3
If the box contains 21 pieces of fruit, this means that if we sum up all the peaches, nectarines, and plums in the box, we will get 21.
Peaches + Nectarines + Plums = 21
4z + z-3 + z = 21
6z =21 +3
z = 24/6
z = 4
Therefore, the number of plums = 4
The number of peaches = 4 X 4 = 16
The number of nectarines = 4 -3 = 1
Answer: x = -8 ; y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
1*x-2*y=4
1*x = 4 + 2*y
x = 4 + 2*y
Now you replace the value of x on the following equation:
-1*x+10*y=8
-1*(4 + 2*y) = 8
-4 - 2*y = 8
-2*y = 8+4
-2*y = 12
y = -12/2
y = -6
You replace the value of y in the previous equation:
x = 4 + 2*y
x = 4 + 2*(-6)
x = 4 - 12
x = -8
