To set up your system of equations is to have 2 equations. They both would have 1 similar variable. For example, Jenny is 5 more her brother's age. She is also 2 more than twice her brother's age. You would set this up as Y, which is Jenny, and X, her brother. Y = 5 + x and Y = 2x + 2. Make sure you put Y in the same spot in both equations. Then take the other half of the equations and simplify them. 5 + x = 2x + 2. Subtract x from both sides to get 5 = x + 2. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3 = x. Now replace the X from both equations to get Y = 5+3, and Y = 2(3) + 2. You will see both add up to 8, which is how old Jenny is in this example. Hope this helped!
Answer:
a. 6 b. -2
Step-by-step explanation:
a. x^3 = 216
x = ³√216
x = 6
b. -n^3/4 = 2
-n^3 = 8
-n = ³√8
- n = 2
n = -2
Answer:
- w + b = 13
- 6.5w + 2b = 57.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the number of gifts wrapped. Let b represent the number of bags prepared.
w + b = 13 . . . . gift bags and gifts wrapped
6.5w +2b = 57.5 . . . . total time spent preparing gifts
_____
Lincoln wrapped 7 gifts and bagged 6.
