Answer:
4 1/3 inches Smaller piece
16 2/3 inches Larger piece
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (2x + 8) = 21
3x + 8 = 21
3x = 13
x = 13/3
x = 4 1/3 inches Smaller piece
2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8
2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches Larger piece
Answer:
x = - 39/148
y = -6/37
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute the given value of y into the equation to get 8x-13 (12x+3)=0
solve for x to get x= - 39/148
substitute the given value of x into 12x+3=y
12 x (-39/148) + 3 = y
-6/37 = y
14,000 because 494 would round down since it is not above 500.
Hello
x = 3y - 6
2x - 4y = 8
We need to start by solving 3y - 6 for x
Substitute 3y -6 for x in 2x
2x - 4y = 8
2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8
2y - 12 = 8
2y = 8 + 12
2y = 20
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 20/2
y = 10
Now, substitute 10 for y in x= 3y
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(10) - 6
x = 30 - 6
x= 24
Answer : x = 24 and y=10
I hope this help!
