5x-8y=1...(1)
3x+6y=-21...(2)
(1)*3:
15x-24y=3...(3)
(2)*5:
15x+30y=-105...(2)
(3)-(2):
15x-24y-(15x+30y)=3-(-105)
15x-24y-15x-30y=108
-54y=108
y=-2
Answer: -50
Step-by-step explanation: (5-10) then multiply the answer by 10
So if a person has 1/8 of a pitcher then you have 8 people per pitcher. Then if you have 5 pitchers you do 5 x 8 and get 40 so 40 people will be served. Hope this helps :)
16 ft
Explanation
Step 1
because the ligth comes in the same angle, we have 2 similar triangles .
so,as the triangles are similar,the ratio of the shorter leg to the bigger leg must be equal.

Step 2
solve for h

therefore, the heigth of the tree is 16 ft
Answer:
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 3 when x = 9, then
k =
=
=
, thus
y =
x ← equation of variation
When x = 18, then
y =
× 18 =
= 6
