Elimination is x=3 since you can cancel our out the 3y just add the 8 and 2 which is 10 and 18 and 12 which is 30, devide and there ya go
Wheres the picture or the problem????
<span>4x-y = 15
3x+2y = -8
Multiplying the first equation by two makes for an easy elimination of the y variable.
8x - 2y = 30
3x + 2y = -8
Add vertically.
11x = 22.
Divide by 11 on both sides and get x = 2.
Plug into an equation.
4(2) - y = 15
8 - y = 15
8 = 15 + y
8 - 15 = y
-7 = y.
Thus the solution is indeed (2, -7).</span>
Answer:
Rita = 300
John = 900
Rodell = 925
Step-by-step explanation:
rita = x (let
john = 3x ( john swims three times more than rita
rodell = 25 + 3x ( rodell swims 25 more than john
x + 3x + 25 + 3x = 2125
or, 7x + 25 = 2125
or, 7x = 2125 - 25
or, x = 2100/7
x = 300
hence,
x = 300
3x = 3 × 300
= 900
25 + 3x = 25 + 900
= 925
