Answer:

  blue

Step-by-step explanation:

If two red marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.

If two blue marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is increased by 1, and the number of blues is decreased by 2.

If one of each is removed, one blue is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.

So, at each step, the number of blue marbles is unchanged or reduced by 2. That is, it only changes by an even number. The number of blues is initially odd, so can never reach zero.

The last marble in the bag is blue.

Add the two equations, 0.75x+1.5y=40 and −1.5x−1.5y=−60 , to find the value of x .
sergij07 [2.7K]

The value of x in the equation is 26.7

<h3>How to solve an equation?</h3>

0.75x + 1.5y = 40

−1.5x − 1.5y = −60

add both equation to eliminate y .

Therefore,

−1.5x + 0.75x = -0.75x

1.5y + (- 1.5y) = 0

40 + (-60) = -20

Hence,

-0.75x  = - 20

divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75x / -0/75 = - 20 / -0.75

x = - 20 / -0.75

x = 26.6666666667

x = 26.7

How many solutions does the system have?
amid [387]

Answer:

A; infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's simplify the first equation to make it simpler.

divide both sides by 5

y=3x-8

new system

y=3x-8

y=3x-8

as you can see, they are the same.

not mandatory but useful!⬇⬇⬇⬇

just to be more clear, let's substitute them. since they're both already in y=, we can make them both set to each other.

3x-8=3x-8

add 8 to both sides; subtract 3x from one side

0=0

the answer is A, Infinitely many solutions.

hope this helped <3333333
