Answer:
b = 7/2
x = 11/2
y = 21/2
z = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y + 2z = 24
x + y + z = 12
b + 2x + y + z = 21
2b + 2y = 28
b + y = 14
3x + y + z = 23
we can start anywhere by transforming these equations in a way that always one variable is excised by others.
so, e.g.
b = 14 - y
14 - y + 2x + y + z = 21
2x + z = 7
z = 7 - 2x
3x + y + 7 - 2x = 23
x + y = 16
16 + z = 12
z = -4
-4 = 7 - 2x
-11 = -2x
11 = 2x
x = 11/2
11/2 + y = 16
y = 16 - 11/2 = 32/2 - 11/2 = 21/2
b = 14 - 21/2 = 28/2 - 21/2 = 7/2
72 minutes
We require their hourly rate of work
Maria cleans
the house in 1 hour
Sasha cleans
of the house in 1 hour
let x be the time it takes both to clean the house
+
= 
multiply through by 6x
3x + 2x = 6
5x = 6 ⇒ x = 
Together they can clean the house in 72 minutes
Answer:
Base x Height
Step-by-step explanation:
Math
I just learned about it. Simple!
6x=5x+7
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-5x -5x
You end up with
1x=7 or x=7
Answer:
Store 1 has the better deal.
Explanation:
If you divide the amount the prices by the amount of paper towel roll, you would see store 1 has the better deal.
3.60 divided by 12 = 0.30
3.50 divided by 10 = 0.35
As you can see, store 1 is less expensive than store 2. Therefore, store 1 is the better deal.
