It sounds like initially we have a total of 18*5 = 90. Then we are adding 5 + 4 +3 +2 +1 to this.
so that gives us 105.
105/5 = 21
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
Measure B is 90 because 17x+=180/2
and x=5
when you plug that into 17x+5 you get 90
I will solve you system by substitution
y = 2x - 3 ; x + y = 1
→Step 1: Solve y = 2x - 3 for y
→Step 2: Substitute 2x - 3 for y in x + y = 1:
x + y = 1
x + 2x- 3 = 1
3x - 3 = 1 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
3x - 3 + 3 = 1 + 3 (Add 3 both sides)
3x = 4
3x ÷ 3 = 4 ÷ 3 (Divide each side by 3)
x = 4/3
→Step 3: Substitute 4/3 for x in y = 2x - 3:
y = 2x - 3
y = 2 (4/3) -3
y = -1/3 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x = 4/3 and y = -1/3

To find what 86% of 40 is, first convert 86% to a decimal, then multiply that decimal by 40.
86% = 0.86
0.86 • 40 = 34.4
So 86% of 40 is 34.4.
