I would solve the first equation for x and then sub that value into x in the second equation. That's the easiest way. x - 2y = 3 solved for x is x = 2y+3. Now sub that in for x in the second equation: 5(2y+3)+3y=2 and 10y + 15 + 3y = 2. 13y = -13, and y = -1. Now sub that y value into either equation to solve for x: x = 2(-1) + 3 gives us an x value of x = 1. Therefore, your solution to this system is (1, -1), first choice above.
Answer:
35 and 36
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we must interpret it line by line;
- We are dealing with consecutive integers; these are integers with a difference of 1 between them.
let the first number = x
second number = x + 1
x
- one - ninth of the second;
(x + 1)
for the "less" ;
x - (x + 1) = 3
Multiply through by 45
45(x) - (45) (x + 1) = 3 x 45
9x - 5(x + 1) = 135
9x - 5x -5 = 135
4x = 135 + 5
4x = 140
x = 35
Now, x+1 = 35 + 1 = 36
The consecutive integers are 35 and 36
Perimeter is the sum of all sides in the figure. Here, all six sides are equal in length so it would be:
p = 6 * side
p = 6 * 3.9
p = 23.4 cm
In short, Your Answer would be: 23.4 cm
Hope this helps!
1(Identifying):
Tomatoes-x--$3 per lb
Mushrooms- 1/3 x-- $10 per lb
Peaches- x+1-- $6 per lb
2(Equation):
3x+6(x+1)+1/3x*10=80
3x+6x+6+10/3 x=80
12 1/3 x= 74
x=74÷(12+1/3)
Step 3(Final Equations):
74*3/37=6=tomatoes
Meaning...
6+1=7=Peaches
6/3=2= mushrooms
Answer:
7 lb of peaches, 6 lb of tomatoes, and 2 lb of mushrooms
