Answer:
x = 1, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 6x
2x + 3y = 20
Plug y as 6x in the second equation and solve for x.
2x + 3(6x) = 20
2x + 18x = 20
20x = 20
x = 1
Plug x as 1 in the first equation and solve for y.
y = 6(1)
y = 6
<h2>Translating Sentences into Equations</h2>
A key part of this is recognizing certain words to change into operations or numbers:
- <em>quotient</em> = divide
- <em>three more</em> = add 3
- <em>'a/the number' </em>= use a variable (in this case, it's <em>w</em>)
We're given:
- Three more than the quotient of a number and 7 equals 6
⇒ 'the quotient of a number and 7' tells us we divide <em>w</em> by 7: - Three more than
equals 6
⇒ 'three more than' means we add 3 to the fraction: equals 6
