(m-21) (m+1)there I thinks it's right unless I messed up my work
lets assume one number is x
then 2nd number will be 5x-2
so product is 120
x (5x-2) = 120
5x^2 - 2x = 120
so answer is last option
Answer:Number of small boxes shipped = 8
Number of large boxes shipped = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of small boxes and let y be the number of large boxes
According to the first statement, a total of 21 boxes were shipped
Equation 1 will be:
x+y=21
According to 2nd statement, the total weight was 1110 and we know the weight of one small box is 25 and large box is 70
Equation 2 will be:
25x+70y=1110
Use the substitution method for solving the equation
Putting the value of x in equation 2
25(21-y) +70y =1110
525-25y+70y = 1110
45y = 585
Y=13
Putting the value of y in equation 1
x+13 = 21
X = 8
Number of small boxes shipped = 8
Number of large boxes shipped = 13
Answer:
(3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-4=y
2y+3x=13
We substitute the y in. They already gave us the equation 2x-4=y simplified so you would just plug this into the other equation
2(2x-4) +3x=13 : *distribute*
4x-8+3x=13 : *combine like terms*
7x-8=13 * add the 8 to the other side*
7x=21 *divide*
x=3
So the y=2x-4 is what we added in the place of the y to subtract it and solve for x. The second step would be solving for y. So now that we have our answer, 3 we plug it into the other equation preferably.
2(3)-4 =y : 6-4=y : 2=y
We can check our answer by pugging both x and y into both equations to make sure they are right. The statement should be true.
2x-4=y 2(3)-4=(2) 2=2
2y+3x=13 2(2)+3(3)=13 13=13
