You could first solve for y, assuming x is 0, and y = 6. Then solve for x, and that means y = 4.
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>
Given :difference between 2 whole number = 66ratio of the 2 whole number =2:5Let:1 whole number be 2x2 whole number be 5xA/Q
difference between 2 whole number = 66
Let's turn it into algebraic equation:
5x - 2x = 663x= 66x =66 /3x =22
Now Let's put value of x to find two whole numbers
Finaly :1 whole number = 2x1 whole number = 2×221 whole number =44
2 whole number = 5x2 whole number = 5×222 whole number = 110
The original price was 725.
Explanation:
"36% less than" means taking 36% away from 100%. 100-36 is 64, so 64% remains when 36% is taken away. So, 64% of the original table's price is 464.
So, if the original price was x, 464=0.64x
Solve this by dividing both sides by 0,64:
725=x
So, the original price was 725.
Answer:
156
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Sandwiches sold by Adam, Matt and Clinton = 2x, 7x and 3x
Total sandwiches = 2x + 7x + 3x
=> 12x
But its given that Matt sold 91 sandwiches
So,
7x = 91
x = 91/7
x = 13
=> Total sandwiches = 12x = 12(13) = 156
