Answer:
so...what are statements?
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7x + 2y = 16
Solving
7x + 2y = 16
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
7x + 2y + -2y = 16 + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
7x + 0 = 16 + -2y
7x = 16 + -2y
Divide each side by '7'.
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y
Simplifying
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y
3.2-5.7=-2.5 so its have to be a negative because a smaller number subtract a bigger number have to be equal to a negative number.
Answer:
<u><em>14 pounds of strawberries and 42 pounds of peaches are sold</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the pounds of strawberries sold are x and pounds of peaches sold are y. then
$182= x(1) + y(4)--------A
or 182= x(1) +3x(4)------- B
182=x+12x
182/13=x
x=14
i hope this helps a little bit
