4x-7x= 13
⇒ -3x= 13
⇒ x= 13/(-3)
⇒ x= -13/3
The final answer is x= -13/3~
Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:
5x = 8y
x - y = 150
Let's solve the first equation for x:
x = 8y/5
Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:
(8y/5) - y = 150
Simplify:
3y/5 = 150
3y = 750
y = 250
If y = 250, then x is:
x = 8(250)/5 = 400
The answer is 250 and 400.
The value of three in 6,300 is 3,000 because it is in the thousands place. The three in 530 is in the hundreds place making the value of three 300. Hope that this helps you :D
Answer:
C. (4,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, I just graphed the two equations. Then I found where they intersected.
There are several important information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Number of cups of Oatmeal
required by Aunt Bess for making 6 dozen cookies = 3
Then
Number of cups of oatmeal
required by Aunt Bess for making 1 dozen cookies = (3/6)
= 1/2
So
Number of cups of oatmeal
required by Aunt Bess for making 18 dozen cookies = (1/2) * 18
= 9 cups
So Aunt Bess will require 9 cups of oatmeal for baking 18 dozen cookies. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to undestand.
