Answer:
6, 13, 20
Step-by-step explanation:
just add a positive 7 to each term
y = -
substitute x = - 3 into the equation for y
y = × - 3 = -
The answer is 16, all you must do is substitute x with the given value then solve, so 23-7
Answer:
2y + ( x- 20)= 500
y= 520-x/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of George be x and the weight of the suspect be y .
The swing can hold a maximum of 500 pounds .
Twice the weight of suspect added with 20 pounds less than the weight of George equals 500.
2y + ( x- 20)= 500
or
2y+x- 20 = 500
adding 20 to both sides
2y+x -20 +20= 500+ 20
or
2y +x = 520
Subtracting x from both sides
2y+ x-x = 520-x
or
2y = 520-x
Dividing by 2 on both sides
y= 520-x/2
The suspect's weight is y= 520-x/2
