X=10
-3 on both sides
Then -6(x+4)+3 to the other side
First you compare the denomonators and see if they have any common multiples, then what you do to one side you do to the other so you multiply so you get the same number on both denomonators.finally you multipybthe same number you did ti he botto. to the top.p.s. your welcome
Answer:
option 2.
the others are simultaneous equations in two unknowns but 7x-2y have the same value and the value can't be two different things at once
<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
