5x + 2y = 7 . . . (1)
y = x + 1 . . . (2)
Putting (2) into (1) gives
5x + 2(x + 1) = 7 => 5x + 2x + 2 = 7 => 7x = 7 - 2 = 5 => x = 5/7
From (2) y = 5/7 + 1 = 12/7
Therefore, solution is {(5/7, 12/7)}
Everyone would get 162 ounces. God bless y'all
The equation would have infinite solutions.
First, distribute on both sides, and you get 12x - 6 = 12x - 6.
There are two ways to do this from here. first is: you add six to both sides and they'll cancel out, and you'll have 12x = 12x. Then you divide by 12 on both sides and get x = x. When the two sides equal the same thing, there are infinite solutions.
Or, we can do the easy way. As you can see, 12x-6 = 12x-6. Both the sides are clearly the same, so we actually don't need to do the rest.
ANSWER: infinite solutions
Hope this helped!!(:
So this triangle is considered a "special triangle". The 30-60-90 triangle rule states that if the short leg is n, then the hypotenuse is 2n and the long leg is n√3.
In this case, since the short leg is 7, x = 14 and y = 7√3. The correct answer that has this is B.
