-2x + 6y = -34
-x + 3y = -17
x = 3y +17
Sub this into 1st eqn
5(3y + 17) + 2y = 21
15y + 85 + 2y =21
17y = -64
y = -3.7647 (to 5 sig. fig.)
y = -3.8 (to nearest tenth)
Sub y = -3.7647 into 2nd eqn
x = 3(-3.7647) +17
x = 5.7 (to nearest tenth)
Answer:
24, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 38
x = 10 + y
You can substitute (10+y) into the top equation where the x is.
10 + y + y = 38
10 + 2y = 38
2y = 28
y = 14
Now plug 14 in for y in either equation to get x
x = 10 + 14
x = 24
Answer: 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
N is the total number of students
M is the number of students thta like math
S is the number of students that like science.
We know that half of the elements in M also are elements from S
And a third of the elements of S also are elements of M
And because those elements are common elements for both sets, we should have that:
M/2 = S/3
then we have that:
M = (2/3)*S
The ratio is 2/3
this means that the number of students that like math is 2/3 times the number of students that like science.
To find the answer to -10x=-210 you must divide -210 by -10
-210/-10= 21
Therefore x=21
So the proper equation is -10(21)=-210
