3x+y=-5
12x+5y=27
Let y =-5-3x
Insert y into equ.2
12x+5(-5-3x)=27
12x-25-15x=27 den rearrange
-3x=2 den x =-2/3
Den put xinto equ 1
3(-2/3)+y=5
-2+y=5(collect like terms)
Y =7
Step-by-step explanation:
the volume of the bucket is
15,000 = 1.5 × 10⁴ ml
the trough holds
2.7 × 10⁵ ml
by calculating how often the volume of the bucket fits into the volume of the trough, we will know how many buckets of water are needed :
2.7 × 10⁵ / (1.5 × 10⁴) = 2.7/1.5 × 10⁵/10⁴ = 2.7/1.5 × 10¹ =
= 27/1.5 = 18
the rancher needs 18 buckets of water to fill the trough.
