The next two numbers should be -8, -2
After adding 8 students to each of 6 same-sized teams, there were 72 students altogether.
After adding an 8-pound box of tennis rackets to a crate with 6 identical boxes of ping pong paddles, the crate weighed 72 pounds.
The first situation has all equal parts, since additions are made to each team. An equation that represents this situation is 6( x + 8 ) = 72, where x represents the original number of students on each team. Eight students were added to each group, there are 6 groups, and there are a total of 72 students.
In the second situation, there are 6 equal parts added to one other part. An equation that represents this situation is 6x + 8 = 72, where x represents the weight of a box of ping pong paddles, there are 6 boxes of ping pong paddles, there is an additional box that weighs 8 pounds, and the crate weighs 72 pounds altogether.
In the first situation, there were 6 equal groups, and 8 students added to each group. 6( x + 8 ) = 72.
In the second situation, there were 6 equal groups, but 8 more pounds in addition to that. 6x + 8 = 72.
Answer:
For every x y is cut in half
Answer:
B) consistent, dependent
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system is
45x - 30y = -90
-12x + 8y = 24
Let us make y the subject in both equations to get:
Top equation
Bottom equation
We can see that both equations are identically the same.
There is going to be infinitely many solutions.
We say the system is consistent and dependent.
The correct choice is B
