Solve for R:
R + 3 = -(1/2 + 6)
Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = (2×6)/2 + 1/2:
R + 3 = -(2×6)/2 + 1/2
2×6 = 12:
R + 3 = -(12/2 + 1/2)
12/2 + 1/2 = (12 + 1)/2:
R + 3 = -(12 + 1)/2
12 + 1 = 13:
R + 3 = -13/2
Subtract 3 from both sides:
R + (3 - 3) = -13/2 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
R = -13/2 - 3
Put -13/2 - 3 over the common denominator 2. -13/2 - 3 = (-13)/2 + (2 (-3))/2:
R = (-13)/2 - (3×2)/2
2 (-3) = -6:
R = (-6)/2 - 13/2
(-13)/2 - 6/2 = (-13 - 6)/2:
R = (-13 - 6)/2
-13 - 6 = -19:
Answer: R = (-19)/2
> multiply the second equation by 2 and add it to the first equation.
2(-6x - 7y = -10)
-12x -14y = -20
8x + 14y = 4
-12x - 14y = -20
--------------------
- 4x + 0 = - 16
x = -16/-4
x = 4
> use x = 4 in either equation to find y
8(4) + 14y = 4
32 + 14y = 4
14y = 4 - 32
14y = -28
y = -28/14
y = -2
1/2 -3/6 is equal to 0 because 1/2 is equal to 1/2
Answer:
18 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Express the fraction of each type of marble as a function of the total number of marbles as shown;
Let;
total marbles=x
red marbles=3/(3+4)=3/7x
blue marbles=4/7 x
But x=42 marbles
The total number of marbles for each type can be expressed as;
total number of red marbles=fraction of red marbles×total number of marbles
where;
fraction of red marbles=3/7 x
total number of marbles=42
replacing;
total number of red marbles=(3/7)×42=18 marbles
total number of blue marbles=fraction of blue marbles×total number of marbles
where;
fraction of blue marbles=4/7 x
total number of marbles=42
replacing;
total number of blue marbles=(4/7)×42=24 marbles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Y) 
= 3
*multiply both sides by 8 - cancels out 8 in denominator*
x + 4 = 24
*subtract 4 from both sides*
x = 20
E) 
= 1
*multiply both sides by 2 - cancels out 2 in denominator*
x - 5 = 2
*add 5 on both sides*
x = 7
N) 
= 2
* multiply both sides by 4 - cancels out 4 in denominator*
x + 2 = 8
*subtract 2 from both sides*
x = 6
