2(4x - 7) -1 = 11
8x - 14 -1 = 11
8x - 15 = 11
+ 15 + 15
8x = 26
/8 /8
x = 3. 25 ------> Rounded: 3.30
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this
y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)
The we subtract one equation from the other to solve
0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10
Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20
So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.
Hope this helps, remember that Jesus loves you
For this, I'll be using the substitution method. Since y = 1/3x - 6, replace the y variable in the first equation with 1/3x - 6 and solve for x:
Now that we have the value of x, plug it into either equation to solve for y:
<h3><u>In short, the solution to this equation is (3,-5).</u></h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method
Inversely in this sentence means
y = k/x
So you first step is to find the value of k. You do that by setting up an inverse relationship with y = 2 , x = 5
2 = k/5 Multiply both sides by 5
2*5 = 5*k/5
10 = k
Now you are able to answer the question.
y = 10/x
3= 10/x Multiply both sides by x
3*x = x * 10/x
3x = 10 Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 10/3
x = 3.33 or x = 3 1/3
Answer
x = 3.33 or x = 3 1/3
