Answer:

This system has infinite solutions and it would be much easier to solve it by elimination but substitution it is.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+3y=9

-x+y=3

Isolate either x or y in any of the equations. I'll go with the second.

y = 3+x

Now substitute this for y in the first equation.

-3x+3(3+x)=9

Distribute the 3

-3x+9+3x=9

Combine like terms:

9=9

0=0

It's infinite

Given the equation 2(3x − 4) = 5x + 6, solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.

2(3x-4) = 5x+6
First, expand the bracket.
6x-8=5x+6
Next, move the variables to the same side.
x-8=6
Move the -8 to the other side, change to +
x=6+8
x=14
Charlie’s solution is incorrect. When expanding the bracket, he changed the - to a +.

Jamie can read at a speed of 65 pages per hour. If she reads a novel that has 400 pages, how long will it

horsena [70]

To find the answer set up an equation:
$400 \: pages \times \frac{1 \: hour}{65 \: pages} =$
Using this set up we can cross our units of pages since they are on opposite side of the proportion, leaving us with the desired units of hours.

Then divide 400 by 65 which will give us our answer: 6.15 or about 6 hours for Jamie to finish her reading.
