Answer:
3.75 L
Step-by-step explanation:
3 liters / 36 m^2 = x liters / 9 x 5 m^2
3 liters / 36 m^2 = x liters / 45 m^2
(45)(3) = (x)(36)
(135) = (x)(36)
x = (135)/(36)
x= 3.75 L
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.
it does not matter which variable you choose.
lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.
so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.
2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6
(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)
4x+6y=12
now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6
-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)
-15x-6y=-12
now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out
4x+6y=12
-15x-6y=-12
-11x=0
x=0
now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.
2(0)+3y=6
3y=6
y=2
so your answer is x=0, y=2
The product of 3 1/5 and 5/8 is 2.
Answer:
First number is -2.5
Second number 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.
To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2
Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.
To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10
4x - 3y = 2
2x + 3y =10
4x - 2x = 2x
2x = -5
x= -2.5
The first number is -2.5
By using Substitution
2x + 3y = 10
2(-2.5) + 3y = 10
-5 + 3y = 10
3y = 10 +5
3y =15
y = 5
The second number is 5
....To check my answer
-5 + 15 = 10
