Answer:
The variable "a number" stands for 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the problem as 2 * (6 + x) = 30
Divide 30 into 2. 30/2 = 15
That means that the variable that is added to 6 must make the number 15.
15 - 6 = 9
The variable x is 9 so the equation would be:
2 * (6 + 9) = 30
129 FT of fencing is required for the problem
-50 meters would be the answer.
X+y=8
multiply the first equation by 3 to get rid of x
3x+3y=24
3x+2y=14
subtract equation 1 from 2
y=10
substitute to find the value of x
x+10=8
x=-2
Answer:
x = 15
y = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - 7 + 4x - 8 = 180
13x = 195
x = 15
9x - 7 = 2y + 2
126 = 2y
y = 63
