So let y be represents the number of baseball cards Barry has
x represents the number of baseball cards his brother has
so the expression represents the number of baseball cards Barry has:
(Barry has 17 more than two-thirds of the number of cards in his brother’s baseball card collection. )y = 17 + (2/3)x
Answer:
is epic
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
First put a bubble around 5x-7. Now you plug that into the problem. -3x-2
(5x-7)=12. now times the -2 by 5x which is -10x. and then times the -2 by -7 which is 14. so now you have -3x-10x+14=-12. add the -3x and -10x. -13x. Add the 14 over. -13x=2. Now dived by -13, which gives us x=-0.15
Now you take that a plug it into the -3x-2y=-12. So that it looks like this -3(-0.15)-2y=-12
Now times the -3 by -0.15 to give us 20 -2y=-12. Now 'kill' the 20, so that it looks like this -2y=-32. Now you divide by -2 and get y=16.
Now your ordered pair is (-0.15,16)
Let x be the brick portion of the wall
Since x is 2/3 of the wall
Then x= (2/3)(2 3/4)
x= 11/6 = 1 5/6
So the brick portion of the wall is 1 5/6 feet
Note: that's not 15/6, it's a mixed fraction which is 1 + 5/6.. just to let you know
