We start with:
y=2x-15
y=5x
Now, we have a perfectly set-up variable we can get rid of: <em>y.</em>
But we need to make either the top or bottom equation negative, so for simplicity, let's make the bottom one negative.
y=2x-15
(-y)=(-5x)
Now simplify.
-3x-15=0
Add 3x on both sides.
3x=15
Divide by 3 on both sides.
x=5
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 red bars
It states we have 24 red notebooks
24/3 = 8
Each bar represents 8 notebooks
We have 5 gold bars
5*8 = 40
We have 40 gold notebooks
The number is 1
1 + 1 = 2
2(2) = 4
1 is your answer
hope this helps
