66 is the answer
76+ 38= 114
114+ 66 = 180
Answer:
<h3>Required <u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>


- by adding eq (1) and eq (2) we get




<h2>__________________________</h2>






- Substitute the value in eq (2)














19 is the answer since 2 to the 2nd power is 4 5×4=20 -1 to the 2nd power is -1
20-1=19
8th grade = 3x = 3(47) = 141 band members.
7th + 8th = 188
7th = x
8th = 3x
x + 3x = 188 ; x = 47 ; 47 + 3(47) = 47 + 141 = 188
4x = 188
4x / 4 = 188 / 4
x = 47 --> 7th grade
8th grade = 3x = 3(47) = 141
To check:
x + 3x = 188 ; x = 47 ;
47 + 3(47) = 188
47 + 141 = 188
188 = 188
Elimination Method

If we multiply the equation 3 by (-1) we obtain this:

If we add them we obtain 0, therefore there are infinite solutions. So, let's write it in terms of Z
1. Using the 3rd equation we can obtain X(Y,Z)

2. We can replace this value of X in the 1st and 2nd equations

3. If we simplify:

4. We can obtain Y from this two equations:

5. Now, we need to obtain X(Z). We can replace Y in X(Y,Z)

6. If we simplify, we obtain:

7. In conclusion, we obtain that
(X,Y,Z) =
