Answer:

The equation that can be used to find the missing number is 96 - 12n = 3 + n

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of 8 less a number n

This is 8 - n

Multiplied by twelve

This is:

12(8 - n) = 96 - 12n

Is equal to 3 more than the number.

96 - 12n = 3 + n

The equation that can be used to find the missing number is 96 - 12n = 3 + n

Solve the system algebraically.<br> 3x - 2y - 1 = 0 y = 5x + 4 <br> What is the solution?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

$x=\frac{-9}{7}$

$y=\frac{-17}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation:

$3x-2y-1=0$

And $y=5x+4$

Second equation can be rewritten as:

$5x-y=-4$

We will solve the equations:

$3x-2y=1$ (1)

$5x-y=-4$ (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3 we get:

$15x-10y=5$ (3)

$15x-3y=-12$ (4)

Now, subtract (4) from (3) we get:

$-7y=17$

$y=\frac{-17}{7}$

Now substitute $y=\frac{-17}{7}$ in equation (1) we get:

$3x-2{\frac{-17}{7}}=1$

$3x+\frac{34}{7}=1$

$21x=-27$

$x=\frac[-27}{21}$

$x=\frac{-9}{7}$
