X = the age of Mr. Gilliam
His wife is 3 years older, so the age of Mr. Gilliam's wife = x+3
The sum of their ages is 95.
Mr. Gilliam is 46 years old.
Answer: Option C) Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.
Solution:
(1) 9x-y=15
(2) 2x+8y=28
Isolating y in the first equation. Subtracting 9x both sides of the equation:
(1) 9x-y-9x=15-9x
Subtracting:
(1) -y=15-9x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:
(1) (-1)(-y)=(-1)(15-9x)
(1) y=-15+9x
Then Raj found the value of y. It's not option D.
Substitutng y by -15+9x in the second equation:
(2) 2x+8(-15+9x)=28
Then option C) is the answer: Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.
Eliminating the parentheses applying the distributive property in the multiplication:
(2) 2x-120+72x=28
Adding similar terms:
(2) 74x-120=28
Solving for x. Adding 120 both sides of the equation:
(2) 74x-120+120=28+120
Adding:
(2) 74x=148
Dividing both sides of the equation by 74:
(2) 74x/74=148/74
Dividing:
(2) x=2
Solving for y: Replacing x by 2 in the first equation:
(1) y=-15+9x
(1) y=-15+9(2)
Multiplying:
(1) y=-15+18
Subtracting:
(1) y=3
Answer:
11 pages with picture to every nine pages without pictures. or 11 per every 9
Step-by-step explanation:
divide each number by a common denominator, in this case 5, to get a change from 55 per every 45 to 11 per every 9.
