X/-3 = 12 + x
x = -36 - 3x
4x = 36
x= = 9
The number is 9.
Answer:
x + y = 36.....Equation 1
x = 7 + 2y...... Equation 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of:
Orange goldfish = x
Black gold fish = y
Anna has a total of 36 goldfish in her aquarium, some are orange and some are black.
x + y = 36.....Equation 1
The number of orange goldfish is 7 more than twice the number of black goldfish.
x = 7 + 2y...... Equation 2
We can rewrite this as:
x - 2y = 7..... Equation 2
The system of equations below that can be used to describe the number of black and orange goldfish in Anna's aquarium is :
x + y = 36.....Equation 1
x = 7 + 2y...... Equation 2
No it is actually a horizontal shift of 2 units to the right.
