Answer:
XQ = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question it asks for XQ instead of x, but you need to find x first.
1. Find x.
XQ is half of MQ so this statement is true: 3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Solve for x.
3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Distribute 2.
3x - 3 = 4x - 12
Isolate x.
3x = 4x - 9
-x = -9
Divide -1 out.
x = 9
Now solve for XQ, which the equation is given.
XQ = 2(9) - 6
XQ = 18 - 6
XQ = 12
Answer:
The second amount is 3.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Find Second
Substitute 9.92 for First
Express as fraction
Multiply both sides by 9.92
To find the solution, we use the substitution method.
x+y=-1
<span>x-3y=11
</span>
x+y = -1-y
-y
x = -1-y
Now apply the value of x into the other equation.
x-3y=11
-1-y-3y = 11
Combine like terms
-4y -1 = 11
+1 +1
-4y = 12
-4y = 12
-4y/-4 = 12/-4
y = -3
Now, apply the value of Y to one equation to find x.
y = -3
x -3 = -1
+3 +3
x= 2
Now we have the value for both, x and y.
x = 2
y =-3
Final answer: A. <span>(2, −3)</span>
