There is no statements to choose from
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x-9
divide the equation by -1 so that the -1's are taken from -3x and -9. so the -1 goes on the outside of 3x+9
-1(3x+9)
then divide the equation by 3 since 3x and 9 is divisible by 3.
(-1)(3)(3/3x+9/3)
-3(x+3)
Now we can expand again to check the problem
-3 times x=-3x
-3 times 3=-9
and add
-3x-9
Hope that helps :)
Robbie bought the smallest amount. Let's use x for that amount.
Let's use n for amount that each following customer increases.
We have:
Robbie=x
Cameron=x+n
Louis=x+n+n
Tom=x+n+n+n
Charlie=x+n+n+n+n
We know that they bought total of 60 scones.
Robbie + Cameron + Louis + Tom + Charlie = 60
x + x+n + x+n+n + x+n+n+n + x+n+n+n+n = 60
5x + 10n = 60 /:5
x + 2n = 12
We are also given this information:
(Robbie + Cameron) = 3/7 * (Louis + Tom + Charlie)
We insert the equations from above:
(x + x+n) = 3/7 * (x+n+n + x+n+n+n + x+n+n+n+n)
2x + n = 3/7 * (3x + 9n) /*7
14x + 7n = 3* (3x + 9n)
14x +7n = 9x + 27n
We take everything on the left side.
14x + 7n - 9x - 27n = 0
5x - 20n = 0/:5
x - 4n = 0
Now we have two equations:
x + 2n = 12
x - 4n = 0
We solve second one for x and insert it into first one.
x + 2n = 12
x = 4n
4n + 2n =12
6n = 12 /:6
n = 2
x=4*2
x=8
Now we can solve for the amount for each customer.
Robbie=x = 8
Cameron=x+n = 8 + 2 = 10
Louis=x+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12
Tom=x+n+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
Charlie=x+n+n+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16
a) Since the corresponding y-value is -0.6, hence the point (-0.8, -0.6) is a solution to the system of equations
b) since the corresponding x-value is not 1/3, hence the point (1/3, 2) is not a solution to the system of equation
In order to show if the given point corresponds to the given function, we will have to substitute the value of x into the function to see if we will have its corresponding y-value
For the point (-0.8, -0.6), substitute x = -0.8 into both functions as shown:
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(-0.8) = 2(-0.8) + 1
f(-0.8) = -1.6 + 1
f(-0.8) = -0.6
Simiarly;
y = -3(-0.8)- 3
y = 2.4 - 3
y = -0.6
Since the corresponding y-value is -0.6, hence the point (-0.8, -0.6) is a solution to the system of equations
For the point (1/3, 2), substitute x = 1/3 into both functions as shown:
x = (y+2)/2
x = (2+2)/2
x = 4/2
x = 2
Simiarly;
x + 2 = 3
x = 3-2
x = 1
Since the corresponding x-value is not 1/3, hence the point (1/3, 2) is not a solution to the system of equations
