A) x + y = 17
B) x * y = -308
B) y = -308 / x Substituting this into A)
A) x -308 / x = 17
A) x^2 -308 = 17x
A) x^2 -17x -308 = 0
x = 28
y = -11
<h3><u>
The value of the number is equal to 16.</u></h3>
7x + 8 = 120
<em><u>Subtract 8 from both sides.</u></em>
7x = 112
<em><u>Divide both sides by 7.</u></em>
x = 16
I believe there are 35 backpacks in all. 2 closets have 6 shelves all together. Then 6*5=35.
Answer:
C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
You can tell if equations have no solution if the variables on both sides of the equation are the same.
Choice C is 10+6x=15+9x-3x. You would combine 9x and -3x, turning the equation into 10+6x=15+6x. Since there is a 6x on both sides, Choice C would have no solution.
The same for Choice D. When you simplify everything there is a 3x on both sides, so it would have no solution.
