1. To solve this exercise, you must make a system of equations.

 2. You have that f<span>our times a number minus twice another number is -8:
</span>
 4x-2y=-8

 3. And t<span>he sum of the two number is 19:
</span>
 x+y=19

 4. As you can see, you have two equations:

 4x-2y=-8   (i)
 x+y=19     (ii)

 5. Let's clear the "x" from the equation (ii):

 x=19-y

 6. Now, you need to susbtitute x=19-y into the equation (i):

 4x-2y=-8
 4(19-y)-2y=-8
 76-4y-2y=-8
 76-6y=-8
 -6y=-8-76
 -6y=-84
 y=-84/-6
 y=14

 7. You must susbstitute y=14 into the equation (ii) and clear "x":

 x+y=19
 x+14=19
 x=19-14
 x=5

 The answer is: 5 and 14

Pls help i really need it!!!!!<br><br> i dont understand how to do it

Just remember that 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet.

If we have 5 miles, we need to multiply it my 5,280 which would equal 26,400.


Then we have the other 529 feet that they gave. Just add 26,400ft and 529ft and they will equal 26,929 ft.


Hope it helped! Remember, five tomatoes! (five two eight oh(0)).

Write and solve a proportion to answer the question. 36 is 0.9% of what number w? 36/w = .9/100 what is w? w = ?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

4000

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve :

36 = 0.9% of w ; solve for w

36 = 0.9/100 * w

36 = 0.009w

Divide both sides by 0.009

36/0.009 = 0.009w / 0.009

4000 = w

Hence, the number, w equals 4000
