If 7x - 4y = 23 and x + y = 8, what is the value of x?

Mathematics

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

How to subtract percentages that are fractions
natali 33 [55]
"you can convert the percent to a fraction or decimal. While you might need to subtract a percent from a percent when working in finance, if you are working on homework you more likely will come across problems where you need to subtract a percent from a whole number."

Find the mode(s) for the given sample data. The lengths (in inches) of each snake in the Clarmont Zoo's reptile house are shown
Contact [7]

The correct option is :   no mode

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The given data set is:  9, 15, 86, 13, 16, 101, 85, 10, 14, 17, 102

The <u>mode is the number that is repeated more often</u> than any other number in the data set.

But here we can see that all the numbers in this data set are different. That means <u>they appear only once</u>.

So, there will be 'no mode' in this set.

If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability that it is an ace or a spade?
klasskru [66]

A 52-card deck is made up of an equal number of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs. Because there are 4 suits, there is a 1/4 chance to draw one of them, in our case, spades.

There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck, so the chance of drawing one is 4/52, or 1/13.

The question asks for the probability of drawing an ace or a spade. Because it uses the word "or," we add the probabilities together. This is because there is a chance of drawing either of the cards; it doesn't have to meet both requirements to satisfy the statement.

However, if the question were to say "and," we would multiply the two probabilities.

Let's add 1/4 and 1/13. First, we can find a common denominator. We can use 52 because both fractions can multiply into it (since the ratio came from a deck of 52 cards as well).

\frac{1}{4} -- > \frac{13}{52}

\frac{1}{13} -- > \frac{4}{52}

Now we can add them together.

\frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} = \frac{13+4}{52} = \frac{17}{52}

This cannot be simplified further, so the probability is 17 in 52, or 33%.

hope this helps!
