Answer:
Your answer would be: y=-4, x=1
Answer:
-0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
As consecutive odd numbers differ by two (example: 3, 5, 7), the first odd number can be expressed as 2n + 1, the next can be found by adding two to the first to get 2n + 1 + 2 which simplifies to 2n + 3. Finally the expression for the third consecutive odd integer can be found by adding two to the previous, 2n + 3, to get 2n + 5. Adding these three together and setting them equal to your sum gets the equation
2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 63
Combine like terms and solve For n.
Once you have n, you must substitute it back into your three expressions (2n + 1, 2n + 3, 2n + 5) to find the three odd integers.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
B.) 80 cans, 20 brushes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cans of paint be represented by variable <em>p</em> , and brushes by variable <em>b</em>
The first equation would be ; p + b = 100
p = 100 - b
The second equation would be;
8p + 12b = 880
Replace p in the equation by (100-b);
=8(100-b) + 12b =880
=800 - 8b +12b = 880
= subtract 800 from both sides to get;
4b = 880-800
4b = 80
divide both sides by 4 to solve for b;
b= 80/4
b = 20
If p + b = 100, then p+20 = 100
p = 100-20
p = 80
Therefore, they sold 80 cans of paint and 20 brushes
