x + y = -9
x + 2y = -25
Rewrite the first equation as x = -9-y
Relace x in the second equation:
-9-y + 2y = -25
Simplify:
-9 +y = -25
Add 9 to both sides:
y = -16
Now you know y,, replace y in the first equation and solve for x:
x -16 = -9
Add 16 to both sides:
x = 7
Answer: x = 7
Answer:
There are about 5,357 bees in the hive
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of bees that leave the hive in one minute
y -----> the approximate number of bees in a hive
we know that
The formula to calculate the approximate number of bees in a hive is equal to

For x=25
substitute


therefore
There are about 5,357 bees in the hive
Answer:
41 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Change 16 1/2 to a mixed number
16 1/2 = (2*16+1)/2 = 33/2
Change 2 1/2 to a mixed number = (2*2+1)/2 = 5/2
Multiply the turns per inch by the inches
33/2 * 5/2 =165/4
Change this back to a mixed number
4 goes into 165 41 times
41*4 = 164 there is 1 left over
41 1/4
48. 6 legs x 8 ants = 48 legs.
