I love math and i believe tjat the answer to my belief is 2
Answer: 55.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be k
(45 x k) / 100 = 25
45k/100 = 25
multiply both sides by 100
45k = 25 x 100
45k = 2500
divide both sides by 45
k = 2500/45
k = 55.56
One possible system is
1x + 3y = 4
2x + 6y = 8
Note how 2 is twice as large as 1, 6 is twice as large as 3, and 8 is twice as large as 4.
In other words, the second equation is the result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.
1x+3y = 4
2*(1x+3y) = 2*4
2x+6y = 8
Effectively the two equations in bold are the same which produces the same line. The two lines overlap perfectly to intersect infinitely many times. An intersection is a solution.
Answer:
Let x be the number of silver medals.
As there were two more gold medals than silver ones, gold medals are x+2
We also know that the number of bronze medals was 4 less than the sum of gold and silver, so if there are x + 2 of gold and x of silver, there are x+x+2-4 of bronze.
Now, we can do an equation, as we know there were a total of 28 medals:
x + x + 2 + x + x + 2 - 4 = 28
And we isolate x:
4x = 28
x = 28/4 = 7
There were 7 silver medals, so there were 9 gold ones (7-2) and 12 of bronze (9+7-4).
