You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:
An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.
First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.
He wrote the number 1892, because:
The number needs to be less than 2000, with four digits. Because the first is half the last, it means that the number must be 1??2.
These two numbers add up to 3, and all together, they need to add to 20. 20-3=17. The remaining numbers need to add to 17.
The only two single digit numbers that can add to 17, are 8 and 9. Therefore, the number must either be 1892 or 1982.
The second digit needs to be even, meaning that the number has to be 1892.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
3. The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x + 3 y = 25 (1)
-3 x + 4 y = 22 (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and (2) by 2.
3(2x) = 6x
2(-3x) = -6x
When you add the two equations, x will get cancelled last
Answer:
(x-1)(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
I used long division with polynomials to help me find the other factor to this problem. Divide x cubed -5x squared -6x+8 by x+2 to get x squared -5x+4.

First, find the area of lot A.
To find the area, multiply the length by the width.
33*42=1,386
Now, subtract the area of lot a from the total area. This will give us the area of lot b.
1,848-1,386=462
The area of lot b is 462 square feet.
Finally, divide the area of lot b (462) by its length to find the width. Since they both share a side, we know that it’s length is 42 feet.
462/42=11
Lot b is 11 feet wide.
Hope this helps!
