You would first start by eliminating one of the variables in order to find the other one.
I chose to eliminate Y, so i multiplies the second equation by -2, in order to cancel Y out.
you would then solve for X, the same you would a one step equation. X =4
You then take one of the original equations, plug X in, and solve for y. Y=5
Hope this helps!
We can set up this equation using this formula:
a = p(1 + r/n)^nt
p = starting amount.
r = interest.
n = number of times it's compounded in a year
t = years
We'd set it up like this:
a = 50(1 + ?/1)^1(12)
Because we're missing the amount of interest, it would be impossible to tell what the amount would be after 12 years.
Since it's asking you to write a problem about a sharing division "situation", I'm assuming the picture above it is part of #4 so you could use that as a reference as well.
You could do 2 divided by 5 which is left with a remainder. So it could be like, "Jack has 5 cookies and wants to share with his friends, he wants to give each of his two friends 2 cookies each".. Something like that and you go ahead and solve it. The final answer will be the solution to your word problem. I hope this helped
15,17,19 are all odd numbers and add to 51
