Answer:x=7
y=2 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x-5)=12
6x-30=12
6x=12+30
6x=42
6x/6=42/6
x=7
6y-5=12
6y=12+5
6y=17
6y/6=17/6
y=2 5/6
Answer:
10 SENIORS
Step-by-step explanation:
x=# of seniors
y=# of juniors
x+y=23, x=2y-7
- plug the value of x in the second equation into the first
- (2y-7)+y=23
- Remove parentheses
- 2y-7+y=23
- Combine like terms
- 3y-7=23
- Add 7 to BOTH sides
- 3y=30
- divide BOTH sides by 3
- 3y/3=30/3
- y=10
- There are 10 juniors in the class
- FINAL STEPS
- Plug y (which is 10) into the first equation
- x+y=23
- x+10=23
- subtract 10 from BOTH sides
- x=13
- Since X equals the number of seniors, there are 10 seniors in the class
