 Multiply the both sides of the first equation by 9.
 Distribute and multiply.
 Multiply the both sides of the second equation by 5.
 Distribute and multiply.
So we have the new system of equations:
Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:
 Group like terms.
 Combine like terms.
 Simplify.
 Divide both sides by  to isolate  .
------------------------------------------------------------------
 Now go back to the first equation.
 Plug in  .
 Multiply.
 Multiply both sides by the LCD  to clear any fractions.

Equations/637122: What word phrase an you use to represent the algebraic expression 4x
1 solutions
Answer 401445 by jim_thompson5910(28536) on 2012-08-13 15:56:46 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!4x translates in English to "4 times some unknown number" or "4 multiplied by some unknown number"
Example: Say gas is $4 a gallon. If you buy x gallons, then you'll spend 4x (4 times x) dollars. So if you buy 2 gallons, then you'll spend 4*2 = 8 dollars (excluding tax).

Rectangles/637007: Hi Guys - Pretty basic algebraic question here however it would be great if you could provide some assistance.
A rectangle is x cm long and y cm wide. There is a frame around the mirrior, which is m cm wide on all four sides.
Questions:
Write a formula for the area of the mirror and frame.
Is your answer a sum or a product, how do you decide?
How can this be answered?
Thanks,
Dom. 1 solutions
Answer 401422 by jim_thompson5910(28536) on 2012-08-13 14:23:35 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The length is x. You add m to to each side of this length to get m + x + m = x+2m
So the new length is x+2m cm
Similarly, the old width of y cm becomes y+2m cm
The new area is then...
Area = Length*Width
A = LW
A = (x+2m)(y+2m)
A = xy + 2xm + 2ym + 4m^2
Notice how the second to last line above is a product and the last line is a sum, so either one works.

Inverses/636947: Find the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock. -22 1 solutions
Answer 401324 by jim_thompson5910(28536) on 2012-08-13 02:17:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Add 12 repeatedly until you reach a positive number
-22 + 12 = -10
-10 + 12 = 2
So the answer is 2

Inverses/636935: Find the additive inverse of -9 on the 12-hour clock. 1 solutions
Answer 401323 by jim_thompson5910(28536) on 2012-08-13 02:16:06 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Add 12 to -9 to get 12+(-9) = 3
So -9 and 3 are the same number on the clock (ie going backwards 9 hours is the same as going forwards 3 hours...you land on 3 each time)
So you must find a number x such that
3 + x = 0
Solve for x:
3 + x = 0
3 + x - 3 = 0 - 3
x = -3
So -3 is the inverse of 3
Add 12 to -3 to get 12+(-3) = 9
This means that 9 is the inverse of -9
-------------------------------------------------------
Useful shortcut:
The additive inverse of 'x' is -x
Ex: x = 6 ---> additive inverse: -x = -6
Ex: x = 7 ---> additive inverse: -x = -7
etc etc

Travel_Word_Problems/636460: you have to drive 300 miles. for the first three hours, you drive 50 mph. how much longer will you have to drive if you increas your speed to 65 mph? 1 solutions
Answer 401032 by jim_thompson5910(28536) on 2012-08-10 23:14:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!In the "first three hours, you drive 50 mph", so you've driven 3*50 = 150 miles so far
You need to travel the remaining 300 - 150 = 150 miles at 65 mph
So this will take you about 150/65 = 2.30769 hours

Answer 401031 by jim_thompson5910(28536) on 2012-08-10 23:10:41 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Hint: the equation for train A is y = 32x where x is the time and y is the distance traveled. The equation for train B is y = 52(x-2) where again x is the time and y is the distance traveled
The two will meet when the two distances are the same. So solve 32x = 52(x-2) for x to find your answer.
