Method 1:

\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&x\ \text{cup of water}\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}x=\dfrac{3}{4}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\\boxed{x=3}

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

Method 2:

\begin{matrix}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&1\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\1\ \text{cup of corn}&-&2\ \text{cup of water}&|\end{matrix}

\begin{matrix}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right)\ \text{cups of corn}&-&(1+2)\ \text{cups of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cups of corn}&-&3\ \text{cups of water}\end{matrix}

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

The ratio is 0.25:0.5

If he uses 1.5 cups of corn grits, the ratio is multiplied by 6.

So:

1.5 : 3.0

He will need 3 cups of water.

24+15+11=50, the total number of times the markers were chosen.

Since 11 of these 50 tries resulted in a red and blue marker, the probability is 11/50. This is equal to 0.22 or 22%.

Solve the following system of equations for all three variables.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 3y – 4z = 8    ----------------(I)

5x – 3y + 5z = -8    -----------------(II)

7x – 3y + 3z = 8 ------------------(III)

Add equation (I) & (II) and thus y will be eliminated

(I)        -2x + 3y – 4z = 8

(II)        <u>5x – 3y + 5z = -8</u>    {Add}

           3x          + z  = 0   ------------------------(A)

Multiply equation (II) by (-1) and then add with equation (III). Thus y will be eliminated.

(II) * (-1)         -5x + 3y - 5z = +8

                     <u>7x – 3y + 3z = 8</u>   {Add}

                     2x         -2z   = 16   ---------------(B)

Multiply equation (A) by 2 and then add. Thus z will be eliminated and we will get the value of x

(A) * 2          6x + 2z = 0

(B)                 <u>2x - 2z  = 16</u>   {Add}

                     8x         = 16

Divide both sides by 8

                             x = 16/8

                          x = 2

Plugin x = 2 in equation (A)

3x + z = 0

3*2 + z = 0

 6 + z = 0

       z = -6

Plug in x = 2 and z  = - 6 in equation (I)

-2x +3y - 4z = 8

-2*2 + 3y - 4*(-6) = 8

-4 + 3y + 24 = 8

     3y   + 20 = 8

               3y = 8 - 20

               3y = -12

                 y = -12/3

y = -4
