To set up your system of equations is to have 2 equations. They both would have 1 similar variable. For example, Jenny is 5 more her brother's age. She is also 2 more than twice her brother's age. You would set this up as Y, which is Jenny, and X, her brother. Y = 5 + x and Y = 2x + 2. Make sure you put Y in the same spot in both equations. Then take the other half of the equations and simplify them. 5 + x = 2x + 2. Subtract x from both sides to get 5 = x + 2. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3 = x. Now replace the X from both equations to get Y = 5+3, and Y = 2(3) + 2. You will see both add up to 8, which is how old Jenny is in this example. Hope this helped!
If a single board measures 1/12 of a meter then it would take 12 boards to make a meter. Since, the stack is 2 meters high. You would multiply 12 and 2 to get 24. There is 24 boards in the stack.
Answer: 2.10
Step-by-step explanation: 2.10 * 4 + 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So you start with 5.7 miles which is the first ride and the long ride is 5 2/3 times longer so you multiply 5.7 by 5 2/3. 5.7 is equivalent to 5 7/10 so you multiply 5 7/10 by 5 2/3. If we get common denominators we will end up with 5 21/30 and 5 20/30 then you multiply. You will get 32.3: 32.3 is equivalent to 32 and 3/10. Then you add that to 5 and 7/10. You will get 38.
Answer: 38
