Answer:
Answer is B the 2nd one hope it’s right i think i did this
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2a + 4b = 44
a+b=15
Step-by-step explanation:
Call a the number of chickens, b the number of horses
We have: 2a + 4b = 44
a + b = 15
=> 2(a+b) = 30
<=> (2a + 4b) - (2a + 2b) = 14
2b = 14
=> b = 7
=> a = 8
So 8 chickens, 7 cows.
Answer:
(-1,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the system:
y=3x-2
x-y=4.
We are asked to use substitution. Luckily, it is already setup for this because one of the equations has one of the variables solved for, namely the y=3x-2 equation. We are going to insert y=3x-2 into x-y=4 and solve for x.
x-y=4 (with y=(3x-2) ):
x-(3x-2)=4
Distribute:
x-3x+2=4
Combine like terms:
-2x+2=4
Subtract 2 on both sides:
-2x =2
Divide both sides by -2:
x =-1
Now if y=3x-2 and x=-1, then y=3(-1)-2=-3-2=-5.
So the solution is (-1,-5).
I should say 5 is the most clearest answer to me
