2y - 8 = 6x
2(3x + 2) - 8 = 6x
6x + 4 - 8 = 6x
6x - 4 = 6x
-4 = 0
this system has no solutions
Answer:
40 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option D : t = 5s + s/2 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
t = Combined weight of water and food
s = weight of the snail
Water drank by snail = 5s
Food ate by snail = s/2
Combined weight = Weight of water + Food
t = 5s + s/2
Hence,
Option D : t = 5s + s/2 is the correct answer.
Try breaking these into sections.
Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
