She should pick the box which holds 8 pears. 8*27 is exactly 216.

I don't know how to do this

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

x = -11/5 and y = 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use elimination.

First, we need to multiply so that at least one variable can cancel out.

We can multiply the top equation by 2.

So we get

4x + 6y = 20

Then, we can use elimination.

The x's cancel out.

So we get 5y = 24

Or y = 24/5

Then, we can plug in this y value back into the first equation to find x.

2x + 3(24/5) = 10

2x + 72/5 = 50/5

2x = -22/5

x = -11/5

So x = -11/5 and y = 24/5

Inga divided two identical rectangles into equal parts. She colored one part of each rectangle.

likoan [24]

Answer:

The areas are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first rectangle be R and

the second rectangle be R'.

Sine R and R' are identical, their lengths are equal and their breadths are equal.

So, if Inga divided each into equal parts, then each part of both rectangles are equal.

Hence, the colored parts of both rectangles are equal.

Solve 4(x + 2) = 20

KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

$\sf 4(x + 2) = 20$

$\sf 4x + 8 = 20$

$\sf 4x = 20 - 8$

$\sf 4x = 12$

$\sf x = \frac{12}{4}$

$\sf x = 3$

check:

4(x + 2) = 20

4(3 + 2) = 20

4(5) = 20

20 = 20

Hence proved x = 3

Answer:

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Calculations:</u>

$7(x-3)+3(4-x)=-8$

$7x-21+12-3x=-8$

$4x-9=-8$

$4x=1$

$x=\frac{1}{4}$
