5 days food for 150 students suggests there was 750 day rations
If there was 100 students this would last 750/100 = 7.5 days.
If it ran out after 4 days there were 750/4 = 187 students (187.5 not valid)
Answer:
x=2
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x+3...(1)
y= -x+7...(2)
(1) + (2):
y+y= (x+3) + (-x+7)
2y= (x-x) + (3+7)
2y= 10
y= 5
By substituting y=5 into (1),
we have
5= x+3
x+3=5
x= 5-3
x= 2

<u><em>Answer: x=-17 and -17=x. *The answer should be the negative sign.*</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
a-c=b-c
subtract by 5 both sides of an equation.
x+5-5=-12-5
simplify.
12+5=17
17-5=12
17-12=5
x=-17 and -17=x
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
