Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
180 + 8x = 160 + 6x
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 6x on both sides: 180 + 2x = 160
- Subtract 180 on both sides: 2x = -20
- Divide both sides by 2: x = -10
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
180 + 8(-10) = 160 + 6(-10)
180 - 80 = 160 - 60
100 = 100
Answer:
Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 5 to 4. Sum these up, obtaining 9. Then (5/9) of the whole represents the number of cats, and (4/9) of the whole represents the number of dogs.
Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and
number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28
As a check: 35 + 28 = 63.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,

Hope this helps! >.<
10 = 2y + 4
6 = 2y
y = 3
18 = 10 + 2x
8 = 2x
x = 4
