Writing algebraic expressions need help with homework

Mathematics
1 answer:
mina [271]3 years ago

Answer:

a. 2x-2

b. Samuel's cousin's age

Step-by-step explanation:

To write this expression, first figure out what your variable stands for. In this case, we want x to represent Samuel's cousin's age, since this is an unknown value that will help us determine Samuel's age. Next, we can create an expression. 2x-2 tells us that Samuel is two years younger (represented by the -2 part of the expression) than twice his cousin's age (represented by the 2x part of the expression).

10x + 7y = –8<br> 7x + 7y = –14
Georgia [21]

Answer:

(2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

10x + 7y = - 8 → (1)

7x + 7y = - 14 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate y

(10x - 7x) + (7y - 7y) = - 8 - (- 14) , that is

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

10(2) + 7y = - 8

20 + 7y = - 8 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

7y = - 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = - 4

solution to the system of equations is (2, - 4 )
