Answer:
A. 3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number equal x.
Set up the first half of the equation.
The sum of three times the number and 8 more than the number can be written as:
3x + (x+8)
Sum means that you add the components.
Set up the second half of the equation.
The difference between -22 and twice the number can be written as:
-22 - 2x
Difference means subtraction, and because -22 is written first, that is the number that you subtract <em>from</em>.
If you set the halves of the equation equal, you get:
3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Therefore, the answer is A.
Answer: The set does not have a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding Equations 1 & 3 we get 5x = 7. This gives x = 7/5
Putting this value of x in eq. 2 we get
-2y + 2z = -1-(7/5) or
2y - 2z = 12/5 or 5y - 5z = 6
Multiplying eq. 1 by 2 we get
4x + 2y - 2z = 6
adding this with eq. 2 we get 5x = 5 or x = 1
As the common solution for x from equations 1&3 does not satisfy eq. 1&2 it comes out that the three equations do not have a common solution.
Same can be verified by using different sets of two equations also.
Answer:
Gene ran faster
Step-by-step explanation:
The fastest time is the smallest time since they ran the same distance
gene ran 90 meters in 16.3 seconds.
alma ran 90 meters in 17.2 seconds
16.3 < 17.2
Gene ran faster
