To find those equations we can do any multiplication or division of both sides of the equation:
Examples:
2x + 9 = -15 | · 2
4x + 18 = -30
2x + 9 = -15 | · (-1)
-2x - 9 = 15
2x + 9 = -15 | ÷ 2
x + 4.5 = -7.5
There is the same solution: x = -12.
First we would solve both x’s
3x^2 - 5x
But 3 has the thingy thing (forgot the name haha)
Which means you have to multiply it by itself that many times which would be
3x3=9
So now it would be
9x- 5x = 4x
Which leaves 7 and 4x
Now you may subtract those two
7-4x= 3x
The answer is 4. If the relay is 1/4 mile, and each person runs 1/16 mile, then to get the answer you divide 1/4 by 1/6 and get 4. 4 people would be needed to run this relay. Hope this helps! :)
Create a system of equations
x + y = 123
5x + y = 343
I use substitution
y = 123 - x
5x + 123 - x = 343
4x + 123 = 343
4x = 220
x = 55
Plug in
x + y = 123
55 + y = 123
y = 68
Check
5x + y = 343
5(55) + 68 = 343
275 + 68 = 343
343 = 343
