First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3
Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x
We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.
We are left with 3x=9
Therefore, x=3
Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations
Y=6
P.O.I is (3,6)
Answer:
25 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
88.50/3.50 divide 88.50 by 3:50
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: initial amount of cards
We now write the equation that models the problem:
Therefore, the initial amount of cards is 300
Answer:
Latoya had 300 cards at the beginning
P = Perimeter
L = Length
W = Width
Perimeter of rectangle = L + L + W + W
or P = 2L + 2W
You know:
P = 36 inches
L = 2W [length is(=) 2 times it's width]
W = ?
P = 2L + 2W
Substitute/plug in what you know, plug in 2W for L since L = 2W
36 = 2(2W) + 2W Simplify
36 = 4W + 2W
36 = 6W Divide 6 on both sides
6 = W Now that you know the width, you can find the length:
L = 2W
L = 2(6)
L = 12
L = 12 in
W = 6 in
PROOF
P = 2(12) + 2(6)
P = 24 + 12
P = 36
