First you would add all the marbles together because you need to know how many are in the bag in total.
7 + 8 + 5 = 20
Next you simply put the number for blue over the total
8 / 20
And there's your answer.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
<u> 24 </u> =
3x-2
<u> 24 </u>=
3(2)-2
<u> 24 </u>=
6-2
<u> 24 </u>=
4
6
A. The cost of no bags of kettle corn. With no bags, there will be no cost.
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
