Answer:
2,000 is the value of the digit 2 in the thousands place
Answer: Choice A. (8, 4)
==========================================================
Explanation:
Because x = 2y, we can replace every copy of x with 2y
Let's do so in the second equation
3x - 4y = 8
3(x) - 4y = 8
3(2y) - 4y = 8 .... x replaced with 2y; now let's isolate y
6y - 4y = 8
2y = 8
y = 8/2 ..... divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Use this y value to find x
x = 2y
x = 2*4
x = 8
So we have x = 8 and y = 4 pair together to get the answer (x,y) = (8, 4) which is choice A.
11 cups of strawberries ... 6 pitchers of juice
x cups of strawberries = ? ... 1 pitcher of juice
If you would like to know what is the number of cups of strawberries in each pitcher, you can calculate this using the following steps:
11 * 1 = 6 * x
11 = 6 * x /6
x = 11/6
x = 1 5/6 cups of strawberries
Result: You will need 1 5/6 cups of strawberries in each pitcher.
