In order to find the unit rate of acres per day, or in other words, how many acres can they plant in one day, you must divide 5/8, the number of acres planted, by 4/5, the number of days it took to plant. When you divide the two fractions, first set up an expression:
5/8<span>÷4/5
Then, to make things simpler, turn the division expression into a multiplication statement so that you have 5/8*5/4. Then multiply straight across and you get your answer as 25/32. This means that the workers can plant 25/32 acres per day.</span>

-2x + 7y = 10 ⇒ -2x + 7y = 10
x - 3y = -3 ⇒ <u>-2x + 6y = 6 </u>
y = 4
-2x + 7(4) = 10
-2x + 28 = 10
<u> -28 -28</u>
<u>-2x</u> = <u>-18</u>
-2 -2
x = 9
(x, y) = (9, 4)
