Answer:
x and y = 0
the question looks weird and almost wrong because when you subtract the equations, you are left with nothing
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the top equation by 3 to make the -x a -3x instead.
Then do the top equation - the bottom equation
At this point you should be left with x
Answer:
x = 5.5
y = - 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one of the numbers = x
Let the other number = y
x + y = - 1
x = y + 12 Put the second equation into the first one
y + 12 + y = - 1 Subtract 12 from both sides
y + y = - 1 - 12 Combine both left and right sides
2y = - 13 Divide by 2
2y/2 = - 13/1
y = - 6.5
x + y = - 1
x - 6.5 = - 1 Add 6.5 to both sides
x = 5.5
650 kgs is equal to 1,433 lbs. I believe the mistake would be that they forgot to add a period in between 65 and the 0, because 65.0 kgs is equal to 143.3 lbs.
2/3 is your answer to the question
