2x + y = x - y - 3 = 6
Add 3 to everything
2x + y + 3 = x - y - 3 + 3 = 6 + 3
2x + y + 3 = x - y = 9
2x + y + 3 = 9
2x + y = 6 = x - y
Add y to everything
2x + 2y = 6 + y = x
Since x = 6 + y substitute every x with 6 + y
2(6 + y) + 2y = x
12 + 4y = x
This is as simplified as I can get and then just place 12 + 4y into every x in the original problem then solve
Teresa counted 2 leaves on May 1st and 9 leaves on September 1st.
The difference in the number of leaves is:
9 - 2 = 7
Hence, the number of leaves has increased by 7 units.
Answer:
<u>There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Men(M), Women(W) and Children(C)
We learn that:
M = 35
W = 1.5C , and
M+W+C = 65
----
M+W+C = 65
M+1.5C+C = 65
35+1.5C+C = 65
2.5C = 30
C = 12
If C=12 and W=1.5C, then W=18
----
<u>There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women</u>
(35+12+18) = 65 participants
Answer:
