Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 4y = 23 and x + y = 8

Multiply the second equation by 4

4x + 4y = 32

Add this to the first equation

7x - 4y = 23

4x + 4y = 32

------------------------

11x    = 55

Divide each side by 11

11x/11 = 55/11

x = 5

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}7x-4y=23\\x+y=8&|\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}7x-4y=23&(1)\\y=8-x&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute (2) to (1):}\\\\7x-4(8-x)=23\qquad|\text{use the distributive property}\\\\7x+(-4)(8)+(-4)(-x)=23\\\\7x-32+4x=23\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\(7x+4x)-32=23\qquad|\text{add 32 to both sides}\\\\11x-32+32=23+32\\\\11x=55\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 11}\\\\\dfrac{11x}{11}=\dfrac{55}{11}\\\\x=5

Blake thinks that the mass of a baby mouse will increase similar to what is shown on the
ira [324]

Answer:

Check below for a lucid explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the variable whose variation does not depend on another external variable. It is the variable on the x-axis which in this case is the growth of the baby.

Note: The diagram you attached to this question does not include the calibration on the x - axis which will give us the independent variable at point

This, nevertheless, is a very simple task. Locate the point A on the graph and trace it downwards to the x - axis, the value written where the line coincides with the x -axis is the value of the independent variable( growth of the baby) at point A.

Find the length of CB<br> .
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

CB = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

CB = CK

5x - 3 = 3x + 1

5x - 3x = 1 + 3

2x = 4

x = 4 / 2

x = 2

CB = 5x - 3

= 5 ( 2 ) - 3

= 10 - 3

CB = 7

WHAT THE ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION? C = { X|X + 6 = 10}
Solnce55 [7]
Given that <span>C = { X | X + 6 = 10}

This can be interpreted grammatically as "C is a set X such that X is the solution to X + 6 = 10".

Given that X + 6 = 10
X = 10 - 6 = 4

Therefore, the solution is
C = {4}

Week = w
1 hour = d

Formula

w = dm + c

The m is the gradient

The c is the d when w is 0

First let’s do m
m is basically how much the d changes from one point to another

So how much does d changes from 20 to 15.5
