Answer:
x= -2, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. substitute x = 4+2y in the first equation: 
simplify it : 
2. isolate y in 8 + 5y = -7 --> 5y = -7 - 8 -->
3. solve for y: 5y = -15 --> y = -15/5 --> y= -3
4. solve for x: x = 4 + 2y
x = 4 + 2(-3)
x = 4 + (-6)
x = -2
Answer:
48cm
Step-by-step explanation:
V= L x W x H
V= 8 x 3 x 2= 48cm
Answer:
Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y
3x + 9y = 78
8x + 4y = 58
Solving equation using elimination method
multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3
8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)
3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)
24x + 72 y = 624
24x + 12y = 174
subtracting,
60 y = 450
y = 7.5
3x + 9(7.5) = 78
3x + 67.5 = 78
3x = 78 - 67.5
3x = 10.5
x = 3.5
<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>
Answer:
x > 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 7) < 7(x + 2)
Expand brackets: 3x + 21 < 7x + 14
Subtract 14 from both sides: 3x +7 < 7x
Subtract 3x from both sides: 7 < 4x
Divide both sides by 4: 7/4 < x
Therefore x > 7/4
