1/3x + y = 9
y = -1/3x + 9

-2x + 2y = -6
-2x + 2(-1/3x + 9) = -6
-2x - 2/3x + 18 = -6
-6/3x - 2/3x = -6 - 18
-8/3x = -24
x = -24 * -3/8
x = 9 <== here is y

-2x + 2y = -6
-2(9) + 2y = -6
-18 + 2y = -6
2y = -6 + 18
2y = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6 <=== here is x

One number is seven less than four times the other number. The sum of the two numbers is 93. Find the numbers.
ivann1987 [24]

You can write the two equations x = 4y - 7 and x + y = 93; substitute the value of x into the other equation

(4y - 7) + y = 93; combine like terms

5y - 7 = 93; add 7 to both sides

5y = 100; divide both sides by 5

y = 20; substitute this value into the other equation

x + 20 = 93

x = 73

So the numbers are 20 and 73

I don't think he will have enough flour I guess, but from my perspective when I divided and multiplied and whatnot I didn't get a whole number. I got mostly decimals, so I think there won't be enough flour.

What is the approximate value of 113−−−√ to the nearest tenth?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, we need to find which digits √(113) is between, and that would be 10 and 11.

2. Okay, so √(113) is between 10 and 11, meaning 113 is between 100 and 121.

3. Since 113 is a little over half between 100 and 121, let's multiply 10.6 by 10.6 to see how close we are to 113:

  • 10.6 * 10.6
  • 112.36

4. 112.36 is pretty close to 113, therefore, the dot on the number-line should be placed at 10.6.

What is the next value 4d 7g 10j 13
bearhunter [10]
13m 16p

Add three to every number next as well as move up three letters.

For example:
1A is the starting point.
To get from 1A to 4D you add three.

1 + 3 = 4
A to get to D is three letters up.
A b c D

Same thing for 4D to get to 7G.

4 +3 = 7
D to get to G
D e f G

Your answer:
I'm not sure if you wanted me to find the letter of the equation or the actual next part. On your question you have just 13 up there, no letter so if youre trying to find the letter (13m) is your answer.

If you're trying to find the next equation to the puzzle (16p) is your answer.

Hope this helped!:)
