do you need to substitute the variable?
What you can do is multiply the whole first equation by 12, so 6x + 26.4y = 108.
then since the coefficients of the x value (the number in front of the x) are the same in both equations, you can subtract the second equation from the first:
6x + 26.4y = 108
-(6x + 0.4y = -22)
26y = 130 divide by 26
y = 5
you can then plug y=5 into one of the equations to solve for x:
0.5x + 2.2(5) = 9
0.5x + 11 = 9 subtract 11 from both sides
0.5x = -2 multiply each side by 2
x = -4
Answer:
Noah takes 20 minutes to get to his house, that is, 10 minutes less than Charlotte.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Charlotte walks home from school every day at a rate of 4 miles per hour and it takes her 30-minutes to reach home, while her brother, Noah, runs home from the same school every day at a rate of 6 miles per hour, to determine how many fewer minutes does it take Noah than Charlotte to reach home from school each day the following calculation must be performed:
Charlotte:
4 mph = 4/60 = 0.0666 miles per minute
0.0666 x 30 = 2 miles
So the distance from the school to her house is 2 miles
Noah:
6/60 = 0.1 mile per minute
2 / 0.1 = 20
Thus, Noah takes 20 minutes to get to his house, that is, 10 minutes less than Charlotte.
Your answer should be -18?
$1.87
60 cents in pennies = $.60
Each quarter is $.25, each dime is $.10, and each nickel is $.05.
1.87=q*.25+d*.10+n*.05+.60
