So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16

0
Step-by-step explanation:
8z +12 = 12
8z = 0
z =0
Answer:
x = 2 is a solution
x = 0 is an extraneous solution
(Option 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
4/x = (3x + 2)/x²
4x² = 3x² + 2x
x² - 2x = 0
x(x - 2) = 0
x = 0, x = 2
Verification:
4/x = (3x + 2)/x²
At x = 2
4/2 = [3(2) + 2]/2²
2 = 8/4
2 = 2
At x = 0
4/0 = [3(0) + 2]/0²
Is undefined
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
Multiply all terms by -3
Add 12x to both sides
