Answer:
x - 3 > 15
Step-by-step explanation:
the bag is 200g
total weight with oranges is 1400g
deduct the bags weight from total weight
1400 - 200
1200g
this is the weight of the three oranges
so each orange would be
1200 ÷ 3
400g
To use the elimination method, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient, then you can eliminate them.
Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
If the scholarship pays 75% of her classes cost, that means that she has to pay the 25% remaining of the classes cost so if we calculate it as follow:
0.25 * $14,000 = $3,500
=================================================================
Another method to understand:
if the scolarship pays 75% of her classes that will be
0.75* $14,000 = $10,500
now she has to pay the remaining of the total cost and that will be
$14,000 - $10,500 = $3,500.
