X + x - x is x
y + y + y is 3y
-z + z - z is -z
x + 3y
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero
*Solution
1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis,
3(x+y) = y
3x + 3y = y
Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give
3x = -2y
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3,
x = (-2/3)y
Dividing both sides of the equation by y,
x/y = -2/3
Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
it is an identity. hope it helps
To determine how much of the barrel is left to fill, you must subtract the amount of water already in it from the total mass of the bucket.
25.5 - 5.2 = 20.3 Litres
In order to the fill the entire barrel, Kelly must collect 20.3 Litres of water. You must then covert the measurement from litres to millilitres so that the bucket and barrel are measured in the same units.
20.3L = 20300mL
You must then divide the amount of space left by the mass of the bucket. This will determine the least number of buckets needed to fill the barrel.
20300 <span>÷ 800 = 25.375
That means the you would have to do a minimum on 25.375 buckets to fill the barrel, or 26.
Hope this helps :) </span>
