Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

two equations can be derived from the question

y - 2x = 3 equation 1

y - 3x = -3 equation 2

y = number of toffees

x = number of children

subtract equation 2 from 1

x = 6

Solve 7x - 2z = 4- xy for x.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + -2z = 4 + -1xy

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'xy' to each side of the equation.

7x + xy + -2z = 4 + -1xy + xy

Combine like terms: -1xy + xy = 0

7x + xy + -2z = 4 + 0

7x + xy + -2z = 4

Add '2z' to each side of the equation.

7x + xy + -2z + 2z = 4 + 2z

Combine like terms: -2z + 2z = 0

7x + xy + 0 = 4 + 2z

7x + xy = 4 + 2z

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 7x + xy + -2z = 4 + 2z + -4 + -2z

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 7x + xy + -2z = 4 + -4 + 2z + -2z

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

-4 + 7x + xy + -2z = 0 + 2z + -2z

-4 + 7x + xy + -2z = 2z + -2z

Combine like terms: 2z + -2z = 0

-4 + 7x + xy + -2z = 0

Ratio Question;
SashulF [63]

*Given

Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy

Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly

Total money of Phoebe,  - £270

   Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let

B - Phoebe's money

A - Andy's money

L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,

                 B + A + L  = £270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as

 

                 B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                 A = 2L                           (EQUATION 2)

4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,

                B = 3A

                B = 3 x (2L)

                B = 6L                            (EQUATION 3)

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,

                 6L + 2L + L = £270

                               9L = £270

                                 L = £30

So, Polly has £30.

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.

                 A = 2L                          

                 A = 2(£30)

                 A = £60

Andy has £60

                 B = 6L                        

                 B = 6(£30)

                 B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.

Alan's go kart travels 1750 feet per minute and Barry's go kart travels 21 miles per hour whose go kart travels faster round you
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Barry's kart is faster as he goes 21 Mph while Alan only goes 19.89 Mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

First to get this answer we need to convert feet per minute to miles per hour. So we multiple 1750 feet per minute by 60 to get a hour. This gets up 105000 total feet in a hour. Now we need to divide this by 5280, which is how long a mile is, to get 19.89 miles which is how many miles he travels in a hour making him travel 19.89 mph which is less than 21 making Barry faster.

4r-2=4r-2 what's the solution? can have either have many solutions or none
butalik [34]

That "equation" has an infinite number of "solutions", because
no matter what 'r' is, it's always a true statement.

The statement is equivalent to saying "I am I." or "You are you."
