x= −2 and y=3

I can't explain this very well, sorry.

The solution is:

x= 4/3

y= 11/3.

Step by step: (substitution)

2x+1=-x+5

Add x to both sides.

3x+1=5.

Subtract 1.

3x=4.

Divide by 3.

x=4/3.

Use 4/3 instead of x to find y.

y=-(4/3)+5

y= 11/3.

Hope this helped!! :)

Sam’s brother is 7 years older than Sam . His mother is 4 less than 3 times Sam’s age . Their combined age is 63 . How old is Sa

Answer:

Sam is 12, sam's brother is 19, and sam's mom is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

First the equation you need to use is S+7+S+3S-4=63(the variable s represents Sam), you combine the like terms which then equals 5S+3=63, then you use inverse operations. Subtract 3 on both sides, 5S=60, then you divide on both sides which equals S equals 12. Then you just plug in the number, S is Sam which means Sam's 12. Then 12+7 which is 19, Sam's brother. Then 3 times 12 minus 4 is 32. And if you check to make sure, 12+19+32 does equal 63.

An hourglass is turned over with the top part filled with sand. after 3 minutes, there are 855 ml of sand in the top half. after 10 minutes, there are 750 ml of sand in the top half. This can be represents a two points ( 3, 855) and (10, 750) . using this to solve the slope m = (750-855)/(10-3) = -15. And using one point the equation is y = -15x + 900.
