There are various ways to solve this. I will solve by elimination which seems easier:
I multiply the top equation by 1/2 to get 1/4y so I can eliminate y:
-3x/8 + 1y/4 = -1 Now add the second equation:
1x/5 - 1y/4 = -6 This gives:
------------------------------------
-3x/8 + 1x/5 = -7 Get a common denominator:
-15x/40 + 8x/40 = -7 Now add fractions:
-7x/40 = -7 Multiply by the reciprocal(-40/7):
x = 7 × 40 / 7 Simplify:
x = 40.
Now plug in 40 for x in one of the equations and solve for y (2nd equation looks easier):
1(40)/5 - 1y/4 = -6
8 - y/4 = -6 subtract 8
-y/4 = -14 multiply by 4
-y = -56
y = 56.

So we got x=40 and y=(56) new lets check!
-3(40)/4 + (56)/2 = -2
-3(10) + 28 = -2
-30 + 28 = -2
-2 = -2.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

w=2r

r= w/2

r- w/2 = 0

w -2r= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the number of weeks and r be the number of recipes learnt . So he will learn 2 recipes each week .Equating gives

w=2r

when w= 1

w= 2(1) = 2

For 1st week 2 recipes are learned

when w= 2

w= 2( 2) = 4

For 2nd week 4 recipes are learned.

or

when r= 2

r= w/2

r =2/2  = 1  one  recipe is learned in half of the week  

r- w/2 = 0

or

w -2r= 0

Please help me with sector math question. I’m desperate!
trasher [3.6K]
Hi there!

Since we know that 36 is 1/10 of 360, all we need to do is divide the total area (85) by 10. This gives us 8.5pi ft^2.

Hope this helps!! :)
