Subtract 2x from the left side and the right side. Then you get -y = -2x+6. The divide each side by negative 1. Thus getting you to an answer of y = 2x-6
If the wall with 4 ft. of storage area can fit 6 sections of plant and the wall with 7 ft. Can fit 5, that means each section is 3 ft. because 7-4=3, so that extra section on the wall with 4 ft. You do this because there is one extra section on the wall with four. Knowing this, the wall with 7 ft. Would be the 7 ft. + 5 sections of 3 ft. So 7+(5x3) = 22. On the wall with 4 ft., do the same,
4+(6x3) =22. Since they are equal and the walls are supposed to be equal, we can confirm this is the right answer
Age of Jen is 13.6 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the age of Jack and "y" be the age of Jen
Given that This Christmas, your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen
The above sentence can be written mathematically as:
Jack age + 2 = twice of age of Jen
The sum of Jacks age and three times Jen's age is 66
Jack age + three times Jen age = 66
x + 3y = 66 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
2y - 2 + 3y = 66
5y - 2 = 66
5y = 68
<h3>y = 13.6</h3>
Thus age of Jen is 13.6 years old
4 legged tables : x
3 legged stools : y
x + y = 20 y= 20 - x
4x + 3y = 68
Replace y by 20 - x so we only have one letter
4x + 3(20 - x) =68
4x + 60 - 3x =68
x + 60 = 68
x = 8
To find y replace x by 8
y = 20 - 8
y = 12
So you have 8 four legged chairs and 12 three legged stools.
Hope I helped!
