Answer:
C. (2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the answer choices, you can see that solving for y will tell you which choice is correct. We can eliminate x from the equations by adding 4 times the second equation to the first:
(8x -3y) +4(-2x +3y) = (1) +4(11) . . . . . adding the equations to eliminate x
9y = 45 . . . simplified; next we divide by 9
y = 5 . . . . . matches choice C
_____
Check
8(2) -3(5) = 16 -15 = 1
-2(2) +3(5) = -4 +15 = 11 . . . . the answer checks OK in both equations
The sum of their ages equals 80.
Gabrielle is 3 times older than Mikhail
Two numbers that have a sum of 80, with one number being 3 times the other are:
Gabrielle’s age: 60
Mikhail’s age: 20
60 + 20 = 80
20 x 3 = 60
Mikhail is 20 years old.
X = 9
Work:
5x-3+48+90=180 (sum)
-3+48+90=135
135+5x=180
subtract 135 from 135 and 180 and that gives you 45
5x=45
divide each side by 5
x=9
Exact form: x=7/6
Decimal form: x=1.16
Mixed number form: x=1 1/6
11^2=121
12^2=144
You can write either 11 or 12.
