Answer:

Solution

To solve the problem first we have simplify the improper fraction.

⇒ 33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= (4 × 3 + 3) /4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 × 1/4 pounds.

= 15/16 pounds.

Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Therefore, 15/16 pounds .

= 15/16 × 16 ounces.

= 15/1

= 15

= 15 ounces.

8x-5y=21 simultaneous linear equation<br>2x+9y=-5
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

x=2 and y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two equations are given, we can solve one of the equation in terms of single variable and put it in the other equation which will further give the value of x and y.

For the given equations:

8x-5y=21              Equation:1

2x+9y=-5             Equation:2

Solving equation multiply equation 2 with 4 on both the sides

8x+36y=-20        Equation 3

Subtracting Equation:3 from Equation:1

8x-5y-(8x+36y)=21-(-20)\\8x-5y-8x-36y=21+20\\-41y=41\\y=-1

Putting value of 'y' in Equation:2 which will give the value of x

2x+9y=-5\\2x+9(-1)=-5\\2x-9=-5\\2x=4\\x=2
