Answer:
p+2=-15 step1:-2 on both sides
p=-17
p=-17
What pool? Any of these answers work when we don’t know what pool...
X = boy count
x + 14 = girl count
x +x +14 = 86
2x + 14 = 86
2x = 72
x = 36
x + 14 = 50
There are 36 boys and 50 girls. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
<u>Let's first solve for y by choosing any equation.</u>
- 4x + y = 14
- => y = 14 - 4x
<u>Now, let's substitute the value of y into the second equation.</u>
- 6x - 3y = 3
- => 6x - 3(14 - 4x) = 3
- => 6x - 42 + 12x = 3
- => 18x - 42 = 3
- => 18x = 42 + 3
- => 18x = 45
- => x = 45/18 = 5/2 = 2.5
<u>Now, let's substitute the value of x into the equation of y.</u>
- => 14 - 4x = y
- => 14 - 4(2.5) = y
- => 14 - 10 = y
- => y = 4
Hence, the value of x and y are 2.5 and 4 respectively.
