They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.

Anita and Joelle bowled together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points. Anita’s score was 40 less than twic

wariber [46]

Call Anita's score $"y"$ and Joelle's score $"x"$ .

1) "<span>their combined total score for one game was 425 points"
</span>Therefore $x+y=425$

2)"Anita’s score was 40 less than twice Joelle’s."
Therefore $y=2x-40$

Substitute:
$x+2x-40=425$

Solve:
$3x=465$
$x=155$

Backsubstitute:
$y=2x-40$
$y=2(155)-40$
$y=270$

How can u solve this by system of equations by elimination 4x-5y=6;2x+5y=-28

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

x=17/3, y=10/3. (17/3, 10/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5y=6

2x+5y=-28

-----------------

4x-5y=6

-2(2x+5y)=-2(-28)

--------------------------

4x-5y=6

-4x-10y=56

------------------

-15y=-50

15y=50

y=50/15

y=10/3

4x-5(10/3)=6

4x-50/3=6

4x=6+50/3

4x=18/3+50/3

4x=68/3

x=(68/3)/4

x=(68/3)(1/4)=68/12=17/3
