Answer: b. 3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2l + 2w = p
2l + 2(2x - 1) = 10x + 2
2l + 4x - 2 = 10x + 2
2l = 6x + 4
l = 3x + 2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5/12 cup more
you have to convert the fractions so they have the same denominator. 0.75 is 9/12 and 1/3 is 4/12. Subtract and you get 5/12
First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.
-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18
Then, we combine the two equations.
-4x + 4x = 0
18y - 36y = -18y
-27 + 18 = -9
Our new equation is -18y = -9.
Now, divide both sides by -18.
-18y / -18 = y
-9/ -18 = 1/2
y = 1/2
We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.
Let's use 2x + 18y = -9
Plug in y.
2x + 18(1/2) = -9
2x + 9 = -9
Then, subtract 9 from both sides.
2x = -18
Divide by 2.
2x/2 = x
-18/2 = -9
x = -9
Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.
2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9
-18 + 9 = -9
Therefore, the values of x and y does work.
x = -9
y = 1/2
