42 and 14
explanation:
x+y = 56
x = 3y
Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14
So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.
Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.
x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56
x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42
So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.
The answer is 76.3, or 763/10, or 76 and 3/10
10+14+40= 64 ounces
16 ounces = 1 pound
64/16 = 4 pounds
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 14) + (x + 12) = 12
Combine like terms
2x + 26 = 12
Subtract 26 from both sides
2x = -14
Divide both sides by 2
x = -7
The answer to this question will be E
