Answer:
x=7
y=18
The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.
The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5 = x+12 and y-4 = x+5
Solve for x first
2x+5-5 = x+12-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate it.
2x-x = x-x+7 Subtract x from both sides to eliminate it.
x=7 Now, substitute 7 for x in y-4 = x+5 to solve for y.
y-4 = (7)+5
y-4 = 12
y-4+4 = 12+4 Add 4 to both sides to eliminate it.
y = 18
Finally, we can substitute 7 for x and 18 for y in all equations to see the lengths of each side.
(18)-4=14 The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.
2(7)+5=19 The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x)=-3x+21,
f(x)=6 = -3x+21
6 = -3x+21
Subtract 21 from each side
6-21 = -3x+21-21
-15 = -3x
Divide each side by -3
-15/-3 = -3x/-3
5 = x
Think of this situation as a system of equations.
let y be the price of hotdogs
let x be the price of hamburgers
5y + 2x = 8
2y + 5x = 9.50
now use your solution method of choice
substitution, elimination, matrices, etc
