I'll put my answer is the comments when I know what I'm looking for. I just need the power.
X=2y
2x+5y=9
substitute the x=2y into the second equation
2(2y)+5y=9
multiple the 2y by 2. 4y+5y=9
combine like terms. 9y=9
divide the 9 out from both sides. y=1
plug the y back into the first equation
x=2(1)
multiply. x=2
your answer is: x=2
y=1
Answer:
Sophie has 12.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of cards Sophie has
y -----> number of cards Jackie has
we know that
x+y=30 -----> equation A
y=x+5 -----> equation B
Solve by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(x+5)=30
2x=30-5
x=12.5 cards
Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number
Answer:
There are 18 students in Grade 7, 10 are in band, so 10/18 = 0.56 are in band.
There are 12 students in Grade 8, 10 are in band, so 10/12 = 0.83 are in band.
Students in Grade 8 are more likely to be members of the band.There are 18 students in Grade 7, 10 are in band, so 10/18 = 0.56 are in band.
There are 12 students in Grade 8, 10 are in band, so 10/12 = 0.83 are in band.
Students in Grade 8 are more likely to be members of the band.
The answer is 1,4 therefore y = 1x - 4
