Answer:
x=-4 y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite equations:
x=−4y+16;3x+4y=8
Step: Solvex=−4y+16for x:
x=−4y+16
Step: Substitute−4y+16forxin3x+4y=8:
3x+4y=8
3(−4y+16)+4y=8
−8y+48=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−8y+48+−48=8+−48(Add -48 to both sides)
−8y=−40
−8y
−8
=
−40
−8
(Divide both sides by -8)
y=5
Step: Substitute5foryinx=−4y+16:
x=−4y+16
x=(−4)(5)+16
x=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−4 and y=5
One side of the rectangle is x=2, the other side is 2x-5
Add up all the four sides: (x+2) +(x+2)+(2x-5)+(2x-5)=54
6x-6=54
x=10
#3: suppose the first integer is x, then the second one is x+2
x(x+2)=255
x^2 +2x -255 =0
factor the quadratic equation: (x+17)(x-15)=0
x=-17, which is impossible, or x=15
so the two positive integers are 15 and 17

Answer:
Ratio of 3/4 I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you said for every 3 kiwis there are 4 of something so you would take the number of kiwis over the other number.
