Here, the easiest method is using the rule of three:
Cover the entire bridge means to cover 6/6 of the bridge.
Let x be the tons needed to cover the entire bridge.

4/5 --> 5/6
x -- > 6/6

x = (6/6 * 4/5) / 5/6
x= (4/5) / (5/6)

Dividing 2 fractions is equal to the multiplication of the first fraction by the inverse of the second:
x= (4/5) * (6/5)
x= 24/25

So 24/25 ton of concrete is needed to cover the entire bridge.

Hope this Helps! :)

Y= -2+21
This is because the slope needs to be the negative reciprocal of 1/2 so the slope is -2 then you take the point (5,11) and plug that an the -2 into y=m(x)+b and you solve for b. In the end you get 21

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The jeweler made 11 bracelets and 7 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces, and the amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams and the amount of gold in each necklace is 16 grams, knowing that the jeweler used 178 grams of gold and made 7 more necklaces than bracelets, to determine a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bracelets made and the number of necklaces made, the following mathematical reasoning should be considered:

(16 - 6) x 7 = 70

178 - 70 = 108

108/6 = 18

18 - 7 = 11

(11 x 6) + (7 x 16) = X

66 + 112 = X

178 = X

Thus, the jeweler made 11 bracelets and 7 necklaces.

Solve the system by substitution
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(-5, -30)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equation:

y = 6x

y = -4x - 50

Since both of them are equal to y, we can substitute the 6x into y. So:

6x = -4x - 50

Now we can solve for x. Add 4x to both sides...

6x = -4x - 50

+4x   +4x

10x = -50

Now, divide both sides by 10.

<u>10x</u> = <u>-50</u>

10      10

x = -5

So, we now know that x is -5. Now we know this, we can substitute -5 where we see x. It works in both equations, so I will do both.

y = 6(-5)

y = -30

And...

y = -4(-5) - 50

y = 20 - 50

y = -30

As you can see, both equations show that y = -30. To check our work, let's plug in the values.

-30 = 6(-5)

-30 = -30

Also:

-30 = -4(-5) - 50

-30 = -20 - 50

-30 = -30

So, we can see that both of the equations gave us the same answer. So, our answer is x = -5 and y = -30, so the ordered pair is: (-5, -30). Hope this helps you!
