Answer:

Let the original number be x.

Thus,

\\  - 5(x - 16) = 20 \\  \\  - 5x + 80 = 20 \\  \\ 5x = 60 \\  \\ x = 12

So, The original number is 12.

The distance between town X and town Y is 124 kilometres and a car uses 25 litres of petrol to make the journey. after the engin
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

49 litres of petrol are needed to travel from town X to town Y and back.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first off, the variable X and Y, as well as the distance given (124 km) aren't important pieces of information in this equation. They're only there to throw you off and confuse you.

25L of <em>p</em> (petrol) to make the entire journey. After the engine has been tuned, it requires 2% less <em>p</em> than before it was tuned.

2%/100 = 0.02

0.02 * 25L = 0.5L

25L - 0.5L = 24.5L

Now, don't forget, at the end of the word problem we're asked how many litres of <em>p</em> would be required to travel from <em>x</em> to <em>y</em> <em><u>AND BACK</u></em>. So it's not only 24.5L, it's double that (24.5 * 2 = 49L)

Good luck!!

Solve by substitution y = 2x - 5 and 3y - x = 5
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation gives an expression for y that can be substituted into the second equation:

  3(2x -5) -x = 5

  5x -15 = 5 . . . . . . simplify

  5x = 20 . . . . . . . .add 15

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  y = 2(4) -5 = 3 . . substitute for x in the first equation

  (x, y) = (4, 3)

__

Solution by graphing confirms this result.
