Answer:

x = 1 y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 7

- Subtract x from both sides.

3y = -x + 7

- Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.

y = -1/3x + 7/3

- Plug the value of y into the other equation.

3x + 4(-1/3x + 7/3) = 11

3x - 4/3x + 28/3 = 11

- Add like terms.

5/3x + 28/3 = 11

5/3x = 5/3

x = 1

- Plug the value of x into the equation.

x + 3y = 7

(1) + 3y = 7

3y = 6

y = 2

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$2x+178\geq 2000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of cans collected by Shane = x.

So, the number of cans collected by Abha = x + 178.

Since, at least 2000 cans are required to be collected.

Thus, we have the inequality,

Number of cans by Shane + Number of cans by Abha ≥ 2000.

i.e. $x+(x+178)\geq 2000$

i.e. $2x+178\geq 2000$

Thus, the required inequality is $2x+178\geq 2000$ .

What is the solution? 2/3(x-7)= -2

koban [17]

Answer:

x =4

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(x-7)= -2

Multiply each side by 3/2 to clear the fractions

3/2 * 2/3(x-7)= -2 *3/2

x-7 = -3

Add 7 to each side

x-7+7 = -3+7

x =4
