Answer:
Let the scores on the first two test be x
Let score for third test be 14 exceeds second( or first) = x + 14
Total = 233
x + x + (x + 14) = 233
3x + 14 = 233
3x = 219
x = 73
Score of the third test = x + 14 = 73 + 14 = 87
Therefore, the scores are 73, 73, 87
Elimination:
3x - 9y = 3
6x - 3y = -24
3x - 9y = 3
18x - 9y = -72
(subtract)
-15x = 75
÷ -15
x = -5
(3 × -5) - 9y = 3
-15 - 9y = 3
+ 15
-9y = 18
÷ -9
y = -2
Substitution:
6x - 3y = -24
+ 3y
6x = -24 + 3y
÷ 6
x = 4 + 0.5y
3(4 + 0.5y) - 9y = 3
12 + 1.5y - 9y = 3
12 - 7.5y = 3
- 12
-7.5y = -9
÷ -7.5
y = 1.2
x = 4 + (0.5 × 1.2)
x = 4 + 0.6
x = 4.6
So this one didn't fail as much, but I got different numbers. If you have to give in values, I'd give in the values from the elimination because I don't trust myself when it comes to the substitution
Answer:
the answer is x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

Divide both side of the equation by 5.

Therefore, the answer is x = 0

Answer:
y = 4/5x +13/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (5 -1)/(3 -(-2)) = 4/5
The y-intercept is given by the formula ...
b = y -mx . . . . for any point (x, y)
b = 1 -(4/5)(-2) = 1 +8/5 = 13/5 . . . . using the first point
So, the equation is ...
y = mx +b
y = 4/5x +13/5

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you have a bunch of these to do, you may want to make a spreadsheet with the formulas built in. Then you can type in the two points and have it spit out the m and b for your equation. Even if you don't use it to <em>do</em> the work, you can use it to <em>check</em> the work.
