Answer: Choice A. (8, 4)

==========================================================

Explanation:

Because x = 2y, we can replace every copy of x with 2y

Let's do so in the second equation

3x - 4y = 8

3(x) - 4y = 8

3(2y) - 4y = 8 .... x replaced with 2y; now let's isolate y

6y - 4y = 8

2y = 8

y = 8/2 ..... divide both sides by 2

y = 4

Use this y value to find x

x = 2y

x = 2*4

x = 8

So we have x = 8 and y = 4 pair together to get the answer (x,y) = (8, 4) which is choice A.

For breakfast, Randy had two Egg McMuffins and a hash brown, to taling 750 calories . Jack only had on e Egg McMuffin and a hash

Delvig [45]

Let us assign variables.
Let x = egg mcmuffins
Let y = hash brown

Randy had:
2x + y = 750

Jack had
x + y = 450

Using systems of linear equation, we can get the value for x and y by elimination. Subtract the equations.
2x + y = 750
x + y = 450
--------------
x = 300

Get y
x + y = 450
300 + y = 450
y = 150.

So there are 300 calories for McMuffins and 150 calories for hash brown.

Maria is installing gutters on her rectangular shed that measures 10 ft by 9 ft she has 23 ft of gutter already and need to purc

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular shed to know how much 5 feet gutter is needed.

The perimeter of the shed is p = 2(l + b) where l = 10ft and b = 9 ft

p = 2(10 + 9) = 2(19) = 38 ft

Now, the perimeter of the shed also equal 23 ft of gutter already installed plus 5x ft gutter where x = number of gutters.

So 23 + 5x = 38

collecting like terms, we have

5x = 38 - 23

5x = 15

dividing through by 5 we have

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

So, Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
