In this system of equations, I'll do elimination. Ok, so what we are trying to do is to eliminate a variable, but we can't. So since -2y is negative, and y has a coefficient of 1 and is positive, let's multiply the first whole equation by 2.
2 times (3x+y=11) is 6x+2y=22. (I just used distributive property.) Now let's add from left to right.
6x plus x is 7x, 2y plus -2y is 0, and 22 plus 6 is 28. Now we have this simple equation, 7x=28. We can simply divide each side by 7, to get x as 4. So x=4 in this set of equations. Now all we need to do is plug x in the equation then solve for y. For this system of equations, I'll use the first equation, because it is easier. So I'll plug x as 4 into the equation to get 12+y=11. Now we can simply solve for y. 11-12 is -1, so y must equal -1. So y=-1. Therefore, x=4 and y=-1. Hope I helped.
The speed of Ingrid is needed so you can calculate how fast Hubert was going.
Answer:
186 books with the 55% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
120 times 55% increase = 66 more in increase
Now take the increase and add it to the original amount of books to get the number of books with the increase
66 + 120 = 186
1/2x - 7 = 84
1/2x = 84 + 7
1/2x = 91
x = 91 / (1/2)
x = 91 * 2
x = 182 <=== original price
Answer:
A multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, is denoted by 1/x or x‾¹.
So, the answer to your question is <u>B. a × (1/a) = 1. </u>
Hope this helps!! :)
