Answer:

2y + 4z = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x = -4$

$y = -8$

$z = 3$

Required

Write an equation that which is true for the above parameters

This question will be answered using trial by error method and the solution is not limited to one equation.

One equation that matches the values above is:.

$2y + 4z = x$

To check:

Substitute the values of x, y and z in the above equation.

$2y + 4z = x$

$2 * -8 + 4 * 3 = -4$

$-16 + 12 = -4$

$-4 = -4$

Hence,

Because both sides of the equation are one and the same (-4), $2y + 4z = x$ is true for the above values of x, y and z.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

let the price of pizza and soda( per 2 litre bottle) be x and y

from 1st condition

12x+2y=137.6.....(1)

from 2nd condition

x+y =11.95.......(2)

multiply eq. (2) by 2

2x+2y=23.9.....(3)

subtracting (1) and (3)

12x+2y=137.6

2x+2y= 23.9

10x = 113.7

x=113.7/10

x=11.37

2(11.37)+2y=23.9

22.74+2y=23.9

2y=23.9-22.7

2y=1.2

y=0.6

So the prices of the pizza and soda are 11.37 and 0.6 dollars.

The table below shows the combination of a dry prepackaged mix and water to make concrete. The mix says for every 1 gallon of wa

egoroff_w [7]

Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:

Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24

Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.

The height of an ostrich is 20 inches more than 4 times the height of a kiwi. If an ostrich is 108 inches tall, how tall is a ki

pishuonlain [190]

Let the height of the kiwi be x, then the height of the ostrich is 20 + 4x.
20 + 4x = 108
4x = 108 - 20 = 88
x = 88/4 = 22
The height of the kiwi is 22 inches.
