Eliminate 2nd equation from 1st equation here:

3y = -27

y = -27/3

y = -9

Now, substitute the value in 2nd equation, x - (-9) = 13

x + 9 = 13

x = 13 - 9 = 4

In short, Your Answer would be: (4, -9)

Hope this helps!

What times what equals 21 but adds up to -22

attashe74 [19]

Let "what" and "what" be A and B

Put this in an algebraic equation
A * B = 21
A + B = -22

A must = -21 and B must = -1 , this is because two negatives multiply to make a positive

A + B = -22 , -21 +-1 = -22

Sanjay and Felipe are putting together a 500-piece puzzle. Sanjay could do the entire puzzle by himself in 6 hours, while it wou

Nata [24]

What is the time it takes Sanjay to complete the puzzle? 6 hours

What is the time it takes Felipe to complete the puzzle? 8 hours

We can use the general formula of rate and time to solve this problem. Generally we have,

Rate * Time = Work/Job

** where Work/Job for this problem is 1 since they are doing 1 work, which is solving a puzzle

Finding rate of Sanjay:

$R(6)=1\\R=\frac{1}{6}$

Finding rate of Felipe:

$R(8)=1\\R=\frac{1}{8}$

Working together, their rate is the sum,

Total Rate = $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{24}$ .

Using the general formula again, we can find the time it will take to solve the puzzle when both works together.

$(\frac{7}{24})T=1\\ T=\frac{1}{\frac{7}{24}}= \frac{24}{7} = 3.43$ hours

Rounding the answer, we have 3.4 hours.

ANSWER: 3.4 hours

gregori [183]

A number (we don’t know the number so I’ll use X) plus five. So we can start the equation of with X+5 then divided by 3=7 so X+5➗3=7 so to solve what X is we can just go in reverse. 7 TIMES 3= 21-5=16 so X=16
