3x+y = 4
x+y= 2 multiply all the elements of (x+y) by -1 & then add it up to the 1st equation
3x+y=4
-x-y =-2
----------
2x+0y =2 ==> x=2/2 =1 & replace x=1 by its value in any of the equation & you will get the value of y=1

2) 3x+y = 7
x+2y = 4
Follow the same methodology as before, but to eliminate y, multiply the 1st equation by (-2) and you will get x=2 & y=1

Eliana owns the Blossom garden shop. To keep her plants healthy, she always adds 3 cups of fertilizer for every 8 cups of soil.

Nataly [62]

Answer: Eliana should add 9 cups of fertilizer to the pot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Eliana always adds 3 cups of fertilizer for every 8 cups of soil. .

As the quantity of fertilizer is proportional to the quantity of soil.

That means,

$\dfrac{\text{Number of cups of fertilizer for 24 cups of soil}}{\text{24}}=\dfrac{\text{Number of cups of fertilizer for 8 cups of soil}}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{Number of cups of fertilizer for 24 cups of soil}}{24}=\dfrac{3}{8}$

Multiply 24 on both sides , we get

$\Rightarrow\ \text{Number of cups of fertilizer for 24 cups of soil}=\dfrac{3}{8}\times24=3\times3=9$

Hence, Eliana should add 9 cups of fertilizer to the pot.

Y/3 + 8 = -2 solve for y a. -30 b. -18 c. 18 d. 30

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{a.\ -30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{y}{3}+8=-2\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{y}{3}+8-8=-2-8\\\\\dfrac{y}{3}=-10\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{y}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(3)(-10)\\\\y=-30$
