This strategy works because if you subtract one number from another the sum of the two numbers should be the that is being subtracted from. (In this case, it's 200)
Answer:
x ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the figure is 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Set up equations (L= Lisa; M = Maria; A = April; J = Jim)</em>
L = 12M
A = 2J
<em>Substitute x for Maria and 6x for Jim</em>
L = 12x
A = 2(6x) = 12x
<em>So, you get:</em>
Maria = x
Jim = 6x
Lisa = 12x
April = 12x
Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.
<span> -8x=72-16y
4x=-92+16y <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2: 8x = - 184 + 32y
Now combine the following, column by column:
</span><span> -8x= 72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
0 = -112 + 16y. Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.
Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:
<span>4x=-92+16(7) => 4x = -92 + 112 = 20. Then x = 5.
Solution is 5, -7 (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>
