Answer:
x = 4 , y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 14 → (1)
x + y = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y
4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y = 1
Part A
Your problem statement already shows you the conversion.
Bottles purchased: 5×10¹⁰
Bottles recycled: 8.3×10⁹
Part B
The ratio of bottles purchased to bottles recycled is
... (5×10¹⁰)/(8.3×10⁹) = 0.6×10¹ = 6.0
The number of bottles purchased is 6 times the number of bottles recycle.
B: z=80___________________________________
