Answer:

2y - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

5y - 3(y + 2)

distribute

5y + (-3 * y) + (-3 * 2)

simplify

5y -3y + ( -3 * 2)

5y - 3y + ( -6)

5y - 3y - 6

combine like terms

5-3 = 2

2y - 6

Eddie's Evergreens sells Christmas trees and wreaths. Trees cost 3 dollars more than 4 times the price of each wreath. It costs

kari74 [83]

Answer:

$W = 16$

$T = 67$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent trees with T and wreaths with W

Given

$T = 3 + 4 * W$

$2 * W + T = 99$

Solving (a): Cost of W

Substitute 3 + 4 * W for T in the second equation

$2*W + 3 + 4 * W = 99$

$2W + 3 + 4 W = 99$

Collect Like Terms

$2W + 4 W = 99 - 3$

$6W = 96$

Divide through by 6

$W =\frac{96}{6}$

$W = 16$

Hence, each wreath costs $16

Solving (b): Cost of T

$T = 3 + 4 * W$

Substitute 16 for W

$T = 3 + 4 * 16$

$T = 3 + 64$

$T = 67$

Hence, each tree costs $67

The elevations of four points below sea level are -47 feet, -24 feet, -8 feet, and -18 feet.

The elevation of the point closest to sea level is feet

-8 ft

elevation of the point farthest from sea level is feet.

-47 ft

closet to sea level to farthest to sea level

-8ft , -18ft , -24ft , -47ft

Solve: x + y = 7 3x - 2y = 11 By using Substituting method.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

$\sf \longmapsto x + y = 7 \: \: - - - (i)$

$\sf \longmapsto 3x - 2y = 11 \: \: - - - (ii)$

By first equation,

$\sf \longmapsto x + y = 7$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 7 - y$

Now, we can find the original value of y.

$\sf \longmapsto 3x - 2y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto 3(7 - y) - 2y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto 21 - 3y - 2y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto 21 - 5y = 11$

$\sf \longmapsto - 5y = 11 - 21$

$\sf \longmapsto - 5y = - 10$

$\sf \longmapsto y = \dfrac{ - 10}{ - 5}$

$\sf \longmapsto y = 2$

Now, we can find the original value of x.

$\sf \longmapsto x + y = 7$

$\sf \longmapsto x + 2 = 7$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 7 - 2$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 5$

Therefore, the values of x and y are 5 and 2 respectively.
