Answer: -2
I hope this helps and may God bless you! Have a nice day, bye! :)
O=2a+2,
o/2-a/2=4 this is your system of equations,
It you wish to solve for apples, then simply substitute o from the first equation into the second equation...
(2a+2)/2-a/2=4 multiply both sides of the equation by 2
2a+2-a=8 combine like terms on the left side
a+2=8 subtract 2 from both sides
a=6
So Javier has 6 apples in the basket.
Which one do you need help with?
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)
Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x = -54
x = 6
plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
y = 10
Answer
(6 , 10)
Hope it helps.
30 is the answer
