Answer:
It is a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4x - 8
Let x = -9 and y = 28
Substitute these values in
28 = -4(-9) -8
28 = 36 -8
28 =28
This is true so it is a solution
The correct way is to plug in the answer back into the equation and see if it results in the correct solution.
The correct question is
<span>A student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb. Another student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb. Altogether, what weight of candies did they eat?</span>
let
x-------> total <span>weight of candies
we know that
x=(3/20)*x+1.2+(3/5)*x+0.3
</span>x=(3/20)*x+(3/5)*x+1.5----> multiply by 20----> 20x=3x+12x+30
20x=15x+30
20x-15x=30
5x=30
x=6 lb
the answer is
6 lb
