Hi there!
So, our two equations are:
2x + 3y = 20 and
-2x + y = 4
We can see that the x's will cancel out because they're the same number, opposite signs. Then we're left with 4y = 24.
Divide 24 by 4, which is 6.
y = 6, then we plug that in to the first equation for y:
2x + 3(6) = 20
2x + 18 = 20
2x = 2
x = 1
So, she made her first mistake when adding the equations, adding 20 and 4, she somehow got 16.
The solution to the system is (1,6).
I hope I helped!
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's represent the number of days with x.
WAREHOUSE A
200-15x
WAREHOUSE B
80+25x
We want to find how many days it will take for the two warehouses to have the same amount of coal. Let's put these expressions into an equation to show that they are equal and see what x is.
200-15x=80+25x
We subtract 25x from both sides.
200-40x=80
We subtract 200 from both sides.
-40x=-120
We divide both sides by -40
x=3
Therefore, warehouse A and warehouse B will have the same amount of coal after 3 days.
Have a wonderful day! :D
