The given equations are:
1) 2y = -x + 9
⇒ x = 9-2y
2) 3x - 6y = -15
⇒3x = 6y - 15
x = 2y - 5
Equating the values of x, we get:
9 - 2y = 2y - 5
9 + 5 = 4y
14 = 4y
y = 3.5
Using this value of y in equation 1 we get:
x = 9 - 2(3.5) = 2
So, the solution set is (2, 3.5)
Answer:
350
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Let n = the number of nickles
Let q = the number of quarters
Then for your problem we have
(1) n + q = 43 and
(2) 5*n + 25*q = 100*6.95 (always work in cents to avoid decimal numbers) or
(3) 5*n + 25*q = 695
Now substitute n of (1) into (3) and get
(4) 5*(43 - q) + 25*q = 695 or
(5) 215 - 5*q + 25*q = 695 or
(6) 20*q = 695 - 215 or
(7) 20*q = 480 or
(8) q = 24
Then using (1) we get
(9) n + 24 = 43 or
(10) n = 19
Let's check these values.
Is (.05*19 + .25*24 = 6.95)?
Is (.95 + 6.00 = 6.95)?
Is (6.95 = 6.95)? Yes
Answer: Kevin and Randy have 19 nickles and 24 quarters in the jar.</span>
-2/3x + 2.8 = -8.2 what is x
Add 2.8 on both side of the equation
-2/3x=-11
Divide both side by -2/3
x=33/2
Check: -2/3(33/2)+ 2.8 = -8.2
-11+2.8=-8.2
-8.2=-8.2
Answer is x=33/2
Answer:
x and y are the variables
