Sub 4 for every y
8x-2(4)=48
8x-8=48
ad 8 to both sides
8x=56
divide both sides by 8
x=7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first you'd have to get the equations in slope-intercept form in order to make it easier for you to see it in the bigger picture. 2x+y=4 would be y= 2x-4, and the other equation would be y= x-3. If you were to solve it, there would be one solution since the y's cancel out. If you graphed it, there would be a point of intersection, unlike when the lines are parallel if there's 0 solutions or only one line's there if there's infinitely many solutions.
Answer:
answer is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Together it would take 3 hours.
Team A can wrap all gifts in 7 hours; thus they can wrap 1/7 of the gifts in 1 hour.
Team B can wrap all gifts in 5 hours; thus they can wrap 1/5 of the gifts in 1 hour.
1/7h + 1/5h = 1, where h is the number of hours; it equals 1 because it is 100% of the gifts;
Find a common denominator. 35 is the first thing 7 and 5 will both divide into. Convert the fractions:
5/35h + 7/35h = 1
12/35h = 1
Divide both sides by 12/35:
12/35h ÷ 12/35 = 1 ÷ 12/35
h = 1/1 ÷ 12/35
h = 1/1 × 35/12
h = 35/12
h = 2.9
h ≈ 3
