Let x be the larger number and y be the smaller number; 

x+y=1 <--- x=1-y 

3x+2y=18 

3(1-y)+2y=18 
3-3y+2y=18 
-y=18-3 
-y=15
y=-15 

x+y=1 
x-15=1 
x=1+15 
x=16 

Hope I helped :)

Solve the equation 2<br> 16x + 20 = 0 to the nearest tenth.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

x ≈ - 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 20 = 0

16x + 20 - 20 = 0 - 20

16x = - 20

16x ÷ 16 = - 20 ÷ 16

x = - 1.25

x=-1\frac{1}{4}

- 1.25 rounds to - 1.3

How to convert 18 gallons/1 hour to cups and minutes
Ne4ueva [31]
So there are 2 things you need to convert, the first is the gallons to cups and the second is the hours to minutes. so I like to set it up with numerators and denominators and then multiply the ratios. All same terms will cross out and be opposite of each other. 

(18 gal/1 hour) x (1 hour / 60 minutes), now we have (0.3 gallons/1 minute) we just have to change gallons to cups

(0.3 gallons/ 1 minute) x (4 quarts/1 gallon) x (2 pints/1 quart) x (2 cups/1 pint)

this comes out 4.8 cups/1 minute
