"<span>D.The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4." makes sense.  Let's do this work:

</span><span>First Equation: 5x − 4y = 28 Second equation: 3x - 9y = 30

45x - 36y = 252
-12x+36y = -120
----------------------
33 x = 132, so x = 4.  And so on.</span>

New streetlights will be installed along a section of the highway. The posts for the streetlights will be 7.5 m tall and made of
SIZIF [17.4K]
First, we determine the volumes of the posts may it be cylindrical in shape or rectangular prism. 

(A) cylindrical:
                         ( π(26.7/100)² - π(24.2/100)²)*(7.5) = 0.3 m³
(B) rectangular prism:
                          (40/100)²(7.5) - (35/100)²(7.5) = 0.28125 m³

Then, we calculate for the amount of substance
 (A) cylindrical:   (0.3 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 810 kg
 (B) rectangular prism : (0.28125 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 759.375 kg

Then, calculate for the costs
 (A) (810 kg)($0.38/kg) = $307.8
 (B) (759.375 kg)($0.38/kg) = $288.56

Thus, the answer for A is rectangular post 
B. About $19.24 can be saved.

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of
ohaa [14]
The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .

Ice cream shop is open within the month of june,july and august The shop served 100 fewer customers than they did in july They s
Julli [10]

The number of customers served in the ice cream shop in June, July and August are 125, 25 and 250 customers respectively

<h3>How to write and solve equation?</h3>

let

  • June = x
  • July = x - 100
  • August = 2x
  • Total customers = 400

Total = June + July + August

400 = x + (x- 100) + 2x

400 = x + x - 100 + 2x

400 = 4x - 100

400 + 100 = 4x

500 = 4x

x = 500/4

x = 125

So,

June = x

= 125 customers

July = x - 100

125 - 100

= 25 customers

August = 2x

= 2(125)

= 250 customers
