4a + 6b = 10
2a - 4b = 12...multiply by -2
----------------
4a + 6b = 10
-4a + 8b = - 24 (result of multiplying by -2)
------------------add
14b = - 14
b = -14/14
b = -1
2a - 4b = 12
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12
2a = 12 - 4
2a = 8
a = 8/2
a = 4
so 12a = 12(4) = 48 <==
3 reds in the 10 remaining cards
so that is 30% are red
Answer:
53 marks
Step-by-step explanation:
To sue a linear equation to solve the given problem, we must assign a function to the score of one of them. Let the score of Azmah be N. Then given that Azmah scored 17 marks more than Yazid, Yazid's score will be
= N - 17
Given that Suzana's score is twice of Yazid's score, then Suzana's score
= 2(N - 17)
If their total score is 161 then
N + N - 17 + 2(N - 17) = 161
4N = 161 + 51
4N = 212
N = 53 . This is Azmah's score

Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44
