Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1
Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2
Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3
• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2
(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14
6y = 14 – 3/2
6y = 25/2
y = 25/12
• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3
x = (25/12 + 3/2)
x = 43/12
He got 16 questions right (5x16=80) and 10 wrong (8x10=80) He got paid $80 but also had to pay $80.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bc is also 20 answer is 400
Perimeter = (20 + 2x) mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The octopus pupil has length 20 mm and the expression for its area is given by (20x - 200) square mm.
If the width of the octopus pupil is w, then 20w = 20x - 200
⇒ w = (x - 10) mm.
Therefore, the expression for its perimeter is 2(Length + Width) = 2 ( 20 + x - 10) = 2( 10 + x) = (20 + 2x) mm. (Answer)
