A first number plus twice a second number is 55. Twice the first number plus the second totals 1313. Find the numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857

an indy car driver has to be a certain height to fit into the race car. The following inequality 175<=3x-17<=187, where x

enot [183]

Given inequality : 175 ≤ 3x-17 ≤ 187, where x represents the height of the driver in inches.

Let us solve the inequality for x.

We have 17 is being subtracted in the middle.

Reverse operation of subtraction is addition. So, adding 17 on both sides and also in the middle, we get

175+17 ≤ 3x-17+17 ≤ 187+17

192 ≤ 3x ≤ 204.

Dividing by 3.

192/3 ≤ 3x/3 ≤ 204/3.

64 ≤ x ≤ 68.

Therefore, the height of the driver should be from 64 to 68 inches to fit into the race car.
