Multiply first example by 3 and subtract by second example, you will get the following:
3*(5x + 2y) = 3*22 => 3*5x + 3*2y = 66 => 15x + 6y = 66
now subtraction:
(15x + 6y) - (-2x + 6y) = 66 - 3
15x + 6y + 2x - 6y = 63
15x + 2x + 6y - 6y = 63
17x = 63
x = 63/17 ≈ 3.705..... and as it says to round to the nearest tenth our answer would be: x = 3.7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No
An=a1r^(n-1)
given
a5=1/24
a10=1/768
we know that
a5=1/24=a1r^(5-1) and
a10=1/768=a1r^(10-1)
so
1/24=a1r^4
1/768=a1r^9
(a1r^9)/(a1r^4)=r^5=(1/768)/(1/24)=1/32
r^5=1/32
take 5th root of both sides
r=1/2
we have
a5=a1r^4=1/24
evaluate r^4 or (1/2)^4
1/16
a1(1/16)=1/24
times both sides by 16/1
a1=16/24
a1=2/3
the first term is 2/3
sdfsdf
4) 
Multiply by 2 on both sides
3m + 15 = 45
Subtract both sides by 15
3m = 30
Divide both sides by 3
so m = 3
5) 
Multiply both sides by 8
168 = q + 35
Subtract both sides by 35
q = 133
6) 
Subtract 14 from both sides
multiply by -11 on both sides
4x = 572
Divide both sides by 4
x= 143
7) 
Add 6 on both sides
Multiply both sides by 5
3c = 75
Divide both sides by 3
c = 25
8) 
Subtract both sides by 17
Multiply both sides by -2
t = -52
9) 
Multiply both sides by -7
42= 5p + 2
subtract 2 from both sides
40 = 5p
Divide both sides by 5
so p = 8
