Answer:
solve for x in the second equation is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
Which first step for solving the given system using substitution results in an equation without fractions?
(2x+6y=7
(6x + 18y = 24.... 2
Solve for x in the first equation,
Solve for y in the first equation,
Solve for x in the second equation
The best equation to she will be equation 2 since all the coefficients are end numbers
Let us make x t subject f the formula from equation 2;
From 2: 6x+18y = 24
Subtract 18y from both sides
6x+18y-18y = 24-18y
6x = 24-18y
Divide through by 6
6x/6 = 24/6 - 18y/6
x = 4-3y.
You can see that the resulting expression of x is not a fraction. Hence solve for x in the second equation is correct
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.

Answer might be 9 due to my algebra teacher
Add up the fractional amounts and divide them by however many amounts there are..........
eg.
Step 1:Add the fractions
1/6 + 5/8 +3/4
(find the LCD)
1/6 + 5/8 + 3/4 = 4/24 + 15/24 + 18/24 = 37/24
Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of numbers in the set
37/24 ÷ 3= 37/24 ÷ 3/1= 37/24 X 1/3= 37/72
<span>So the mean (average) is 37/72</span>
Answer:
kevin is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Kevin's age now be a
Daniel's age now be b
Kevin is 3 years older than Daniel. -> a-3 = b
Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel -> a-2 = 4(b-2) = 4b -8
-> a-3 -(a-2) = b - (4b-8)
-> - 1 = -3 b +8
-> -9 = -3b
-> b = 3
-> a = 6
