You would first start by eliminating one of the variables in order to find the other one.
I chose to eliminate Y, so i multiplies the second equation by -2, in order to cancel Y out.
you would then solve for X, the same you would a one step equation. X =4
You then take one of the original equations, plug X in, and solve for y. Y=5
Hope this helps!
let's set up an equation
4x=24
solve normally:
x=6
so the expression is 4x=24 and she can have 6 kids in each group
Answer:
x = 96
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x - 5 + x - 11 + x - 8 = 360
4x - 24 = 360
4x = 360 + 24
4x = 384
x = 96
