Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2 = 10 - x
<em>Add x to both sides</em>
6x - 2 = 10
<em>Add 2 to both sides</em>
6x = 12
<em>Divide both sides by 6</em>
x = 2
28 people going.....3 vans and 1 car....8 people per van
if there is 8 people per van, and there is 3 vans....8 * 3 = 24 people take the vans......leaving 28 - 24 = 4 people taking the car <==
If i'm not wrong its distributing property of addition. <span />
Answer:
A. 84
B. 90
C. 360
Step-by-step explanation:
675/8 = 84
12 hours= 720 minutes
90
90 times 4 = 360
3x + y = 3
7x + 2y = 1
First isolate one of the variables (x or y) in one of the equations.
Isolate "y" in the first equation(because it is the easiest to isolate) and substitute it into the second equation.
3x + y = 3 Subtract 3x on both sides
3x - 3x + y = 3 - 3x
y = 3 - 3x
7x + 2y = 1
7x + 2(3 - 3x) = 1 [since y = 3 - 3x, you can substitute (3-3x) for "y"]
Multiply/distribute 2 into (3 - 3x)
7x + (3(2) - 3x(2)) = 1
7x + 6 - 6x = 1
x + 6 = 1 Subtract 6 on both sides
x = -5
Now that you know "x", substitute it into one of the equations (I will do both)
3x + y = 3
3(-5) + y = 3 [since x = -5, you can plug in -5 for "x"]
-15 + y = 3 Add 15 on both sides
y = 18
7x + 2y = 1
7(-5) + 2y = 1
-35 + 2y = 1 Add 35 on both sides
2y = 36 Divide 2 on both sides
y = 18
x = -5, y = 18 or (-5, 18)
