Answer: x= -6; y= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + y = 23
4x - 9y = - 15
-4x + y = 23
y = 23 + 4x [Add 4x to both side]
4x - 9(23 + 4x) = - 15
4x - 207 - 36x = - 15
-32x - 207 = -15
-32x = 192 [Add 207 to both side]
x = -6 [Divide -32 from both side]
-4x + y = 23
-4(-6) + y = 23 [Plug in -6 for x]
24 + y = 23 [Subtract 24 from both side]
y = -1
Answer:
<h2>m < 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:

9+2 = 11 8+3 = 11are you going to do is just add in that's all it does
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
Answer:
<h3>
- 14</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
{x - some integer}
2x - the first even integer
2x+2 - the second consecutive even integer
2x+4 - the third consecutive even integer (the largest)
2x + 2x+2 + 2x+4 - the sum of three consecutive even integers
2x + 2x+2 + 2x+4 = -48
6x + 6 = -48
÷3 ÷3
2x + 2 = -16
+2 +2
2x+4 = -14
