Answer:
x = 1, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4y = -1
5x + 2y = 7
If we multiply the whole second equation by 2, we get:
10x + 4y = 14
Adding this to the first equation:
10x + 4y + 3x - 4y = 14 - 1
13x = 13
x = 1
Applying this to the second equation:
5 (1) + 2y = 7
2y = 2
y = 1
Allison can make 4 fruit parfaits.
Since one parfait requires 1/8 cup of yogurt, add:
1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8
They all share a common denominator, so:
1/8 + 1/8 +1/8 + 1/8 = 4/8
Simplify your answer (divide numerator and denominator by the common factor of 2) :
4/8 = 1/2
1/2 represents the total amount of cups of yogurt used. Since it took adding 1/8 four times that represents 4 parfaits.

Answer:
4 people name chocolate
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first understand the given information.
The survey shows that 40 percent of a finite number of people name chocolate as their favorite flavor of ice cream. Because the survey is reporting a percentage, then 40% means that from 100 people 40 people name chocolate, while the others name a different type of flavor.
Dividing the total of people (100) by the ones who name chocolate (40) then we have:
100/40 = 2.5
Through the above equation we are actually expressing the following:
Total people = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)
Using this equation if we have now 12 people:
12 = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)
12/2.5 = (people who name chocolate flavor)
4.8 = people who chose chocolate flavor
Because we can't have 0.8 of a person, then if we have a sample of 12 people, we will expect that 4 of them name chocolate.
Answer:
(-1,-2) OR x = -1 and y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x + 1
y = -x -3
so you would first multiply everything on y = -x -3 by 3 and get 3y = -3x -9
so then you would add 3y = -3x -9 to y = 3x + 1 (<u> to eliminate the x</u> )which would be 4y = -8 then divide by 4 and get <u><em>y = -2</em></u>
then you plug in y = -2 into any one of the equations but to make it easier i am going to plug it into y = -x -3 so now it would be -2 = -x - 3 then, add 2 to both sides which would be 0 = -x -1 then add 1 to both side 1 = -x then multiply both sides by -1 and get <u><em>x = -1</em></u>
<u><em>SO your answer would be </em></u> (-1,-2) OR x = -1 and y = -2 ( both of them are correct but it depends on what the teacher taught you)
