Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Substitute x from the second equation into the second one</u>
<u>Step 2: Substitute y into the second equation</u>
Answer: 
4x=20
4/4x=20/4
x=5
u want to isolate the variable to solve these equations
Answer:
48 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
First container = x
Second container has twice as much oil.
Second container = 2x
13 liters of oil was used from first container.
x - 13
7 liters of oil was used from the second container.
2x - 7
Second container has 3 times more oil than the first one.
2x - 7 = 3(x - 13)
x - 7 = 3(x - 13)
x - 7 = 3x - 39
2x = 32
x = 16
First container = 16 liters
second container = 16 x 2 = 32 liters
Total = 16 + 32 = 48 liters
Answer:
a=1 or a=5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to attempt to factor 6a^2-a-5
a=6
b=-1
c=-5
Find two numbers that multiply to be a*c and add to be b.
a*c=-30 =-6(5)
b=-1 =-6+5
So replace -a with -6a+5a in the expression we started with
6a^2-6a+5a-5
now we factor by grouping
6a(a-1)+5(a-1)
(a-1)(6a-5)
Now let's solve the equation:
(a-1)(6a-5)=0
So a=1 or a=5/6
