Answer:
21 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To solve this exercise, you must make a system of equations.
2. You have that f<span>our times a number minus twice another number is -8:
</span>
4x-2y=-8
3. And t<span>he sum of the two number is 19:
</span>
x+y=19
4. As you can see, you have two equations:
4x-2y=-8 (i)
x+y=19 (ii)
5. Let's clear the "x" from the equation (ii):
x=19-y
6. Now, you need to susbtitute x=19-y into the equation (i):
4x-2y=-8
4(19-y)-2y=-8
76-4y-2y=-8
76-6y=-8
-6y=-8-76
-6y=-84
y=-84/-6
y=14
7. You must susbstitute y=14 into the equation (ii) and clear "x":
x+y=19
x+14=19
x=19-14
x=5
The answer is: 5 and 14
Answer:
117
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of stamps Derek had at first. After he gave 1/9 of his stamps to Ahmad, Ahmad had (d -104) +(d/9). Derek had 4 times this number after giving away d/9 stamps:
(d -d/9) = 4((d -104) +d/9)
(8/9)d = 4d -416 +(4/9)d
416 = (32/9)d . . . . add 416 -8/9d
117 = d . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 9/32
Derek had 117 stamps at first.
_____
<em>Check</em>
1/9 of Derek's collection is 13 stamps. 104 less than Derek's collection is 13 stamps.
So, Ahmad started with 13 stamps and was given 13 stamps by Derek. Meanwhile, Derek started with 117 stamps and gave away 13, so ended with 104 stamps. That number (104) is 4 times Ahmad's new number (26), as it should be.
