Answer: less than
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Mark has 28 marbles while Don has 85 marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of marbles that Mark has.
Let y represent the number of marbles that Don has.
If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, it means that
y = 3x + 1
The total number of marbles is 113. It means that
x + y = 113- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = 3x + 1 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 3x + 1 = 113
4x + 1 = 113
4x = 113 - 1 = 112
x = 112/4
x = 28
y = 3x + 1 = 3 × 28 + 1
y = 85
Answer:
-3, 1, 5, 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(2) - 7 = -3
2(4) - 7 = 1
2(6) - 7 = 5
2(8) - 7 = 9
Answer:
3x
Step-by-step explanation:
coefficient is the number before the variable
Answer:
The solution to the system of equations is:
x = 2, and y = -1
Explanation:
Given the pair of equations:
4x + 5y = 3 ..........................................................................(1)
2x + 3y = 1............................................................................(2)
To solve this by elimination:
Multiply equation (2) by 2, to eliminate x
Equation (2) becomes
4x + 6y = 2 .........................................................................(3)
Subtract equation (1) from (3)
4x - 4x + 6y - 5y = 2 - 3
y = -1 ....................................................................................(4)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5 to eliminate y
Equation (1) becomes
12x + 15y = 9 .......................................................................(5)
Equation (2) becomes
10x + 15y = 5 ........................................................................(6)
Subtract equation (6) from (5)
12x - 10x + 15y - 15y = 9 - 5
2x = 4
Divide both sides by 2
x = 4/2 = 2 ............................................................................(7)
From equations (7) and (4)
x = 2, and y = -1
