How do you find x and y in a word problem

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]3 years ago
3 0

You replace one letter with 0 so you can cancel it out. So for example, when you are solving for y, you put x as 0 so then you can find the y. If the problem is x+y=24. You put x as 0 and you solve for y.

How is the answer 35? How do I get it?
vlabodo [156]
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.

Shawna, Ryan, and Dominic ate a whole pizza. Shawna ate 1
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to add the amount Shawna & Ryan ate together, then subtract it from 1 to find the amount of pizza that was left for Dominic to eat.

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = ?

Make all the denominators the same to add fractions.

\frac{1}{3}  is \frac{2}{6}

\frac{1}{2}  is \frac{3}{6}

\frac{2}{6} +  \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

1 -  \frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

He read 1/3 of the book on the second day

He didn't finish the book in two days.

<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>

Lets find 3/5 of 5/9

If we said, find 3/5 of x, the answer would be 3/5x.

3/5*x = 3/5x

In the same way, \frac{3}{5} *\frac{5}{9} = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{1}{3}

He read 1/3 of the book on the second day

Does 5/9 + 1/3 equal to 1?

1/3 = 3/9

5/9 + 3/9 = 8/9

He didn't finish the book in two days.

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
