Answer:
1. 3 2. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2+8+(-7)
2+8-7
3
2. 4+7+(-7)
4+7-7
4
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
Y= 35x +25 this the linear equation that could determine the cost to rent a car for one day. and I have 95% in Algebra.
You can make the first equation equal to x: x=0.5y+5 and substitute it into the second equation: 2(0.5x+5)-2y=4 -> -y+10=4 so y=6.
Then plug y into either equation: 2x-(6)=10 -> x=8
The correct ordered pair is (8,6)
