Solve for y in 3x+7=y
y=7−3x
Substitute y=7−3x
y=7−3x into 8x−3y=30
8x−3y=30.
17x−21=30
Solve for x
x in 17x−21=30
17x−21=30.
X=3
Substitute x=3 into y=7−3x
y=-2
Therefore,
x=3
y=−2
Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Landon hours = x
Ben hours = y
x + y = 14 - - (1)
60x + 56y = 820 - - - (2)
From (1)
y = 14 - x
60x + 56(14 - x) = 820
60x + 784 - 56x = 820
4x = 820 - 784
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9
Landon drove for 9 hours
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to distribute the 2 to what is in the parenthesis, then you get left with 2x+18=4 so subtract the 18 from both sides leaving you with 2x=-14 so you divide both by 2 leaving you with x=-7.
