GIVEN
1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.
2) There are 1770 people in the city.
SOLUTION
Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:
If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:
We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:
Dividing both sides by 5, we have
There are 1062 females in the county.
Let's try to divide the sentence into multiple parts and then combine it one by one to make it easier to understand.
1. True
2 times y and 6 -------->(2y+6)
the square of the sum of "2 times y and 6" -------->(2y+6)^2
8 times "the square of the sum of 2 times y and 6"------> 8(2y+6)^2
2. True
the difference of x and 7 -------->(x-7)
9 and x -------->(9 + x)
2 times the product of the sum of
"9 and x" and "the difference of x and 7"-------> 2(9 + x) (x-7)
3. True
difference of 5 times x and 3 -------->(5x-3)
the square of the difference of 5 times x and 3------->(5x-3)^2
4. False
The description should be: the product of 7 and the square of x
the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)
the square of the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)^2
5. True
This one should be clear as it was one sentences
the sum of y squared(y^2) and three times y(3y) minus 4-------->y^2+ 3y -4
6. False
The description should be: the product of 5 and 8 times the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8
the sum of 20x and 8 -------->20x+8
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8-------->8+ x^2 +20x+8
the product of 5 and.... ------->(5)(........
the product of 5 and
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8---->(5)(8+ x^2 +20x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
simply add both equations
x + y = 2
-3x - y = 5
----------------
-2x + 0 = 7
x = -7/2
x + y = 2
-7/2 + y = 2
y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2
b.
1/2 x + 2y = -13
x - 4y = 8
first multiply the first equating by 2
x + 4y = -26
x - 4y = 8
--------------------
2x + 0 = -18
x = -18/2 = -9
x - 4y = 8
-9 - 4y = 8
-4y = 17
y = -17/4
Oh the answer is a I looked it up this time
