Answer:
x, y, and z I think that is it
Answer:
you can go on something called tiger algerbra
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the larger number.
Let y represent the smaller number.
x-y=4 Given
3x=5y-2 Given
Now we can just substitute; let x=4+y
Substitute 4+y for x in the second equation:
3(4+y)=5y-2
12+3y=5y-2
-2y=-14
y=7
Substitute back (into BOTH equations to double check work).
x, the larger number, is 11
Answer:
A $0.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve how much does it cost to have a bulb on for an hour. ⇒ 120 watt = 0.1 kilowatt per hour which costs 0.20 per kilowatt per ⇒ 0.1 kilowatt per hour* 0.20 = 0.02 dollars in an hour.
You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.
