Well, since 1 quart equals 4 cups, multiply 7 by 4.
You'll get 28 cups.
Now add te 2 cups, and you get 30.
So: 7 quarts, 2 cups = 30 cups.
You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said
-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .
You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say
5 cows .
When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.
Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.
F(x) = -52x + 4
g(x) = -12x - 4
To find the solution of the system of equation, we have to just equate the equation to each other.
f(x) = g(x)
-52x + 4 = -12x - 4
-52x + 12x = - 4 - 4
-40x = -8
x =
x = 0.2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
p = power washer and g = generator
6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4
4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6
---------------------
24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)
-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)
---------------------add
-24g = - 240
g = -240 / -24
g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr
6p + 6g = 90
6p + 6(10) = 90
6p + 60 = 90
6p = 90 - 60
6p = 30
p = 30/6
p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr
check...
4p + 8g = 100
4(5) + 8(10) = 100
20 + 80 = 100
100 = 100 (correct)
