Answer:
C and D are correct in my calculations, I'm confused.. ;w;
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 9 + 79 - x + y = 180
4x - x + y + 79 + 9 = 180
3x + y + 88 = 180
3x + y = 180 - 88
3x + y = 92
y = 92 - 3x
A.) x = 64, y = 50
y = 92 - 3x
(50) = 92 - 3(64)
50 = 92 - 192
50 ≠ - 100
B.) x = 14, y = 152
y = 92 - 3x
(152) = 92 - 3(14)
152 = 92 - 42
152 ≠ 50
C.) x = 23.3, y = 22.1
y = 92 - 3x
(22.1) = 92 - 3(23.3)
22.1 = 92 - 69.9
22.1 = 22.1
D.) x = 14, y = 50
y = 92 - 3x
(50) = 92 - 3(14)
50 = 92 - 42
50 = 50
2 1/2
10 goes into 25 2 times with a remainder of 5 so , you get 2 5/10
5/10 reduces to 1/2
Let's call the three numbers a, b, and c.
Now we can turn the information we are given into equations.
The sum of the three numbers is 26:
a + b + c = 26
Twice the first (2 times a) minus the second (2 times a minus b) is 2 less than the third:
2a - b = c - 2
The third is the second minus three times the first:
c = b - 3a
Counting what we have here, we now have three equations and three variables: enough to solve the whole system of equations.
The third equation gives us c directly, so we can start there and substitute into the second equation:
2a - b = (b - 3a) - 2
2a + 3a = b + b - 2
5a = 2b - 2
Let's get one of these variables on its own so we can continue with the substitution:
5a + 2 = 2b
b = (5a + 2) / 2
Now we have c in terms of a and b, and b in terms of just a. So let's use the first equation and substitute to find out what a is:
a + b + c = 26
a + (5a + 2) / 2 + (b - 3a) = 26
a + (5/2)a + 1 + (5a + 2) / 2 - 3a = 26
7/2a + 1 + 5/2a + 1 - 3a = 26
12/2a + 2 - 3a = 26
6a - 3a = 26 - 2
3a = 24
a = 8
At last, we have solved for one of the variables. Now, plug this into the equation for b to find b:
b = (5a + 2) / 2 = (5(8) + 2) / 2 = (40 + 2) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21
Now we have a and b. Time to find c!
a + b + c = 26
(8) + (21) + c = 26
29 + c = 26
c = 26 - 29
c = -3
<span>So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.</span>
