If we have
y = 6x + 1 and x - y = 11, we can take advantage of y - y = 0 as follows:
Subtract x from both sides of the 2nd equation:
-y = 11 - x
Now combine
y = 6x + 1
-y = 11 - x
--------------
0 = 5x + 12. Solving for x, x = -12/5. Using the equation above, find y:
-y = 11 - x
= 11 - (-12/5)
= 55/5 + 12/5 = 67/5
Then the solution is (-12.5, 67/5).
Answer:
f(x)=2000-8x
Step-by-step explanation:
2000 is initial amount that gets subtracted
8x is the amount of gallons being siphoned out, where x is t, or minutes.
The number is -13.
In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.
Twice the difference of a number and 2.
2(x - 2)
Three times the sum of the number and 3
3(x + 3)
Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.
2(x - 2) = 3(x + 3) ----> Distribute
2x - 4 = 3x + 9 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides
-4 = x + 9 -----> Subtract 9 from both sides
-13 = x
