Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
KL + KJ = 17
2 + 3x + 5x - 1 = 17 add like terms
8x + 1 = 17 subtract 1 from both sides
8x = 16 divide both sides by 8
x = 2
KL = 5x - 1 replace x with 2
5*2 - 1 = 9

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables. Sandwiches are s and coffee is c. Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c. Those all put together on one bill comes to 26. So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26. Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23. Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23. In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's. The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3. 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out. 4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104. Multiplying the second bolded equation by -3: -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69. The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s. We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for. 20c = 104 and -6c = -69. Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35. That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50. There you go!
Answer: 7/12 portion
Explanation:
Jack can paint:
1 house = 3hr
1/3 portion= 1hr
Jill can paint:
1 house = 4hr
1/4 portion = 1hr
Both of them together can paint in 1 hour:
1/3 + 1/4 = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12 portion in 1hr
