Answer:
Either x = 3, y = 2
or
(3,2) is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +y = 8 (1)
y = - x+ 5 (2)
Put equation (2) into equation (1). Use the y value in (2) to go into the y value in (1).
2x - x+5 = 8 Combine the x values
x + 5 = 8 Subtract 5 from both sides
x + 5-5 = 8-5
x=3
Now go back to (2). Put x in for the value of -x. Watch the sign.
y = -3+ 5
y = 2
So the answer is (3,2)
Answer:
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
6 * y * 4 = 2 * 72
y = 2 * 72/24 = 6
Answer:
The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.
Step-by-step explanation:
Division in a ratio of 1:2:3
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
So
The first box will have 1/6 of the marbles.
The second box will have 2/6 = 1/3 of the marbles
The third box will have 3/6 = 1/2 of the marbles.
First box:
One sixth, so:
(1/6)*540 = 540/6 = 90
Second box:
One third, so:
(1/3)*540 = 540/3 = 180
Third box:
One half, so:
(1/2)*540 = 540/2 = 270
The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.
