I believe 9. I divided 200 books among 24 boxes and got 8.3333..., so that means there would be 8 full boxes plus 1 not full boxes which means that there are 9 boxes total.
3xy + 4x -16 ...... I hope that helps .
Answer:
x = 3
y = 0
z = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3x + 3y - z = 1
b) z = 8
c) -x -3y + 2z = 13
a) 3x + 3y - 8 = 1 (substitution)
a) 3x + 3y = 9
c) - x - 3y + 2(8) = 13 (substitution)
c) -x - 3y + 16 = 13
c) -x - 3y = -3
(3x + 3y = 9) + (-x -3y = -3)
= 2x = 6
x = 3
a) 3(3) + 3y - 8 = 1
9 + 3y - 8 = 1
y = (1 -9 + 8)/3
y = 0
I'll solve it algebraically
x+y=4
x-3y=12
multiply first equatoin by -1 and add to second
-x-y=-4
<u>x-3y=12 +</u>
0x-4y=8
-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2
sub back
x+y=4
x+-2=4
add 2 to both sides
x=6
x=6
y=-2
(6,-2)
