Answer:
The mystery number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a very easy problem.
let the mystery number=x
2(x+5)=24
2x+10=24
2x=24-10
2x=14
x=7
To check the answer,
Add 5 to 7=12, multiply by 2=24
<u>the correct question is</u>
The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?
Let
x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day
y-------> the cost to support an archer per day
we know that
4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1
2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2
If you multiply equation 1 by 2
2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10
so
equation 1 and equation 2 are the same
The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.
