2x - 3y = 7 and -3x + y = 7..multiply Equation 2 by THREE and add to Equation 1
-9x + 3y = 21...........................watch the y's disappear
-7x........ = 28
x = -4
substitute -4 instead of x in either of the ORIGINAL equations
2x - 3y = 7
2(-4) - 3y = 7
-8 -3y = 7..........add 8 to both sides
-3y = 15
y = -5
im not sure
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
3 ( -x + 2) is the factorization; 3 is the common factor
Discussion:
Each term in
-3x + 6 has 3 as a factor so the factorization is
3 ( -x + 2)
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
Current price index number = 455
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Current cost of gasoline = $2.58 per gallon
1975 price of gasoline = 56.7 Cents = 56.7 / 100 = $0.567 per gallon
Find:
Current price index number = ?
Computation:
Current price index number = (Current cost / Reference cost) 100
Current price index number = ($2.58 / $0.567)100
Current price index number = (4.55)100
Current price index number = 455
