Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B. 15 units</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply all terms in the first equation by 2 and all terms in the second by 3.
You should obtain:
6x + 16y = 34
-6x + 27y = 9
------------------
43y =43, and so y = 1. Subbing 1 for y in the first eq'n, we get
3x + 8(1) = 17, or 3x = 9, or x = 3.
The solution is (3, 1).
You need to calculate 35% of 400.
The way I do this on paper is I split it up into chunks and then add the chunks together.
First I would calculate 10%. To do this, divide 400 by 10, because to get from 100% to 10% you must divide by 10.
So 10% = 40
You need 30%, so you just multiply by 3, because to get from 10% to 30%, you multiply by 3.
So 30% = 120
5% is half of 10% so half of 40 is 20.
So 5% = 20
30% + 5% = 35%
120 + 20 = 140
So they had traveled 140 miles when Joshua fell asleep. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
36,686
Step-by-step explanation:
5.88 x 12 over 10 = 240
