Answer:
x = 2 and y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
x+2y = 8 -----equation (i)
2x-y = 1 -----equation (ii)
Now,
x+2y = 8
or, x = 8-2y ------equation (iii)
Again,
2x-y = 1
or, 2x = 1+y
or, 2x-1 = y
Putting the value of 'x' from equation (iii)
or, 2(8-2y)-1 = y
or, 16-4y-1 = y
or, 16-1 = y+4y
or, 15 = 5y
or, y = 15/5
or, y = 3
Putting the value of 'y' in equation (iii)
x = 8-2y
or, x = 8-(2×3)
or, x = 8-6
or, x = 2
Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3.
Answer:
937.5 packs of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that:
100p = £1
80p = x
Cross Multiply
100x = 80p × £1
x = 80/100
x = £0.8
Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p.
Hence:
£0.8 = 10 packs of apples
£75 = x
Cross Multiply
£0.8 × x = £75 × 10 Packs
x = £75 × 10 Packs/£0.8
x = 937.5
Therefore, to make £75 at the end of the year, he has to sell 937.5 packs of apples
Answer:
17,37
Step-by-step explanation:
one number = x
The positive number = 2x + 3
x * (2x+3) = 629
x*2x + x *3 = 629
2x² + 3x - 629 = 0
2x² - 34x + 37x - 17*37 =0
2x*(x -17) + 37(x - 17) = 0
(x - 17)(2x + 37) = 0
x - 17 = 0 ; Ignore 2x + 37 as s is a positive number
x = 17
Positive number = 2*17 +3 = 34+3 = 37
