question: Zayn has 5 more than three times the number of stickers that cleo has. Cleo has 25 fewer stickers than zayn. WRITE THE SYSTEMS OF EQUATION TO REPRESENT THIS SITUATION. explain what the solution means

Answer 1

Solutions:

Z = 35

C = 10

Systems of Equations:

Z = 3C + 5

C = Z - 25

Explanation:

Z will be for Zayn and C will be for Cleo.

Z = 3C + 5

C = Z - 25

These are the systems of equations. To solve, plug one of the equations into their respected variable.

Z = 3(Z - 25) + 5

Z = 3Z - 20

20 = 2Z

Z = 10

C = 3C + 5 - 25

-2C = -20

C = 10

This proves that these equations are correct. To find the final solution, plug 10 into Z to find Zayn's amount , then plug the amount that was for Zayn into C to find Cleo's amount.

Z = 3(10) + 5

Z = 35

C = 35 - 25

C = 10
