Answer:
8 (4 x + 1)
and
32 x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C. y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given system of equations:
Multiply the second equation by 3:
Subtract this from the first equation to eliminate 3y:
Solve the resulting equation for x:
Substitute the found value of x into the original second equation and solve for y:
Answer:
x =- 3 and y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
2X-2Y=-8
X=2y + 11
We need to isolate both X and Y in both equations
so
2x-2y=-8
(add 2y to both sides)
2x=-8+ 2y
(divide both sides by 2)
x=-4+y and x=2y+11
because <u>both of these equations are the same </u>we can put them together
4+y=2y+11
(subtract y)
4=y+11
(subtract 11)
-7=y
so y = -7
then to find x you just need to plug in y to one of the equations
x=2(-7) + 11
x= -14 +11
x = -3
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of cars to trucks to motorcycles is $4:3:2.
If there are $42$ cars and trucks total,
To get how many motorcycles are there
Sum up the ratio of cars and trucks 4:3= 4+3 = 7
Sum up the ratio of cars and trucks and motorcycles
4+3+2 =9
Let the total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles be represented as A
The total number of cars and trucks in the question is 42
(7/9) x A = 42
7A/9 = 42
cross multiply
7A = 42×9 = 378
A= 378/7 = 54
The total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles is 54
To get the number of motorcycles can be calculated through
a. The total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles subtracted by the number of cars and trucks = 54-42=12 or use the ratio which is
2/9 × 54 = 2×6=12
