Answer:

Let the x = # of pies Larry ate

Jesse ate 2x-5 pies

Total = 16

Your equation is:

x + (2x-5)=16

3x-5=16

3x=21

x = 7

Larry ate 7 pies.

HELP PLEASE I WILL MARK YOU AS A BRAINLIEST THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
dybincka [34]

The answer is A) 5b

Lets try an example:

Lets say we have 3 boxes in total of both board games. We can solve for b since b = 3 in the example.

= 5b

= 5(3)

= 15 dice in total

We can check our answer by adding the amount of dice per box.

2 + 3 = 5

Then multiplying by the number of boxes.

5 * 3 = 15 dice total

Answer:

3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

the factors of the following equation 9x^{2}  - 64 = are:

(3x - 8)(3x + 8)

If you look the equation you can notice that you don´t have a term like -48x or 48x, so the factors must have a positive and negative sign.  

Remember first you need to multiply each segment and finally add.

(3x - 8)(3x + 8) = 9x^{2} - 24x + 24x -64 = 9x^{2}  - 64 =

2 questions! solve the linear system using substitution. SHOW WORK HELP ME PLEASE
pav-90 [236]
Get y in terms of x then substitute the expression into the other equation.

#7.
y - 2x = -6
y = 2x -6
y gets substituted for 2x - 6
5x - (2x - 6) = 9
5x - 2x + 6 = 9
3x + 6 = 9
3x = 9 - 6
3x = 3
x = 1
use this to find the other one
y - 2(1) = -6
y - 2 = -6
y = 2 - 6
y = -4

#8.
3y + x = 2
x = 2 - 3y
substitute x for 2 - 3y in the second equation
y - (2 - 3y) = -6
y - 2 + 3y = -6
4y - 2 = -6
4y = 2 - 6
4y = -4
y = -1
use this to find the other one
-1 - x = -6
-x = 1 - 6
-x = -5
x = 5
