4x-2y=12 -4x-9=54 How can you order a ladder?

Mathematics

Equations:

4x - 2y = 12
-4x - 9y = 54

Multiple them in both sides

4x - 2y - 4x - 9y = 12 + 54
-2y - 9y = 66
-11y = 66
y= -6

If y= -6 then put y in first or second equation.

I put it in first equation

4x - 2.(-6) = 12
4x + 12 = 12
x= 0

Therefore

(x,y) = (0, -6)

How many solutions can be found for the linear equation? 3(x+4)=3x+4
Hitman42 [59]
Hi there! The answer is 0 solutions.

3(x + 4) = 3x + 4
First we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).

3x + 12 = 3x + 4
Now subtract 12.

3x = 3x  - 8
Now we can see that the right side of the equation is always 8 smaller than the left side of the equation. Because the right is always smaller, this equation cannot be solved. Therefore there are no solutions to this equation. The answer is 0 solutions.

Mell is twice as old as Jerry. If 16 is subtracted from Mell’s age and 16 is added to Jerry’s age, their ages will be equal. Wha
irga5000 [103]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let J = Jerry's age

Let M = Mary's age = 2J

 

M - 16 = J + 16

 

Substitute 2J for Mary's age

 

2J - 16 = J + 16

2J - J - 16 = 16

J = 16 + 16

J = 32

 

Jerry is 32.

Mary is twice as old as Jerry.

Mary is 2(32) = 64
