2x+3y = 17
2y + z = 1
5x +10z = 25

Find x

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

2x + 3y = 17 → (1)

2y + z = 1 → (2)

5x + 10z = 25 → (3)

Rearrange (2) expressing z in terms of y

z = 1 - 2y

Substitute z = 1 - 2y into (3)

5x + 10(1 - 2y) = 25

5x + 10 - 20y = 25 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

5x - 20y = 15 → (4)

Multiply (1) by 20 and (4) by 3, then add to eliminate the y- term

40x + 60y = 340 → (5)

15x - 60y = 45 → (6)

Add (5) and (6) term by term to eliminate y, that is

55x = 385 ( divide both sides by 55 )

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation , we can separate so that .

The equation can then be turned into:

(divide by on both sides)

We can now use elimination to solve for one of the variable:

(times 2 to get for elimination)

Now, we can use substitution to solve for :

*calories burned = (weight)(calorie factor)*

calories burned = 180 (0.65)

calories burned = 117

the calories he used up is 117, which is 65% of his weight.
