Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
I have no idea good question though 69=y
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You have to guess what the question is. I'm assuming that it is either the black triangle to the blue one or the blue one to the black one. Be careful when you post a question to see if you have included a question.
Answer
<em>Ratio of blue to black</em>
The distance of the left most point of the blue triangle to the y axis is 3. The same point on the black one is 1
blue/black = 3/1
<em>Ratio of black to blue</em>
ratio of the black triangle to the blue one is 1/3
The answer will depend on the question. Notice that the two answers are reciprocals.
1. x=1
5x=4+x
4x=4
x=1
2. x=3/4 or 0.75
2/3x=1/2
2x=1 1/2
x=3/4
3. x=1
3x-2x+4=15/3
x+4=15/3
x=1
4. x=5
4x+7=2x+17
2x+7=17
2x=10
x=5
5. x=20
.5x=10
x=20
