Answer: x = - 12/9 ( the equation is negative)
Step-by-step explanation:
\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=13+\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}x
\frac{5}{3}x=3x+\frac{38}{3}
\frac{5}{3}x-3x=3x+\frac{38}{3}-3x
-\frac{4}{3}x=\frac{38}{3}
3\left(-\frac{4}{3}x\right)=\frac{38\cdot \:3}{3}
-4x=38
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{38}{-4}
x=-\frac{19}{2}
Age is the independent variable

Look at the square root like "x", then
Answer:
<em>h=12, w=24, t=8</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Linear Equations
</u>
We have 3 unknown variables and 3 conditions between them. They form a set of 3 equations with 3 variables.
We have the following data, being
w = price of a sweatshirt
t = price of a T-shirt
h = price of a pair of shorts
19.
The first condition states the price of a sweatshirt is twice the price of a pair of shorts. We can write it as

The second condition states the price of a T-shirt is $4 less than the price of a pair of shorts. We can write it as

The final condition states Brad purchased 3 sweatshirts, 2 pairs of shorts, and 5 T-shirts for $136, thus

This is the system of equations we need to solve for w,t,h
20.
To solve the system, we replace w in terms of h and t in terms of h. Those relations have been already written, so

Operating


Solving for h

The other two variables are
