Answer:
The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the simultaneous equation
First Equation: 5x − 4y = 28
Second equation: 3x - 9y = 30
In order to eliminate y, we must make the coefficient of x in both expression to be equal.
To do that the first equation should be multiplied by 9 (negative value of the coefficient of y in equation 2)and the second equation by -4( (coefficient of y in equation 1)
So to find the total animals you have to add both the cats and dogs so 16 and the dogs is 7 so 16/7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you want to get q only and q appears in both side of the equation. Try to isolate q to one side.
1) Expand 2(q+p)
2q + 2p = 1 + 5q
2) Move all q terms to one side
5q - 2q = 2p - 1
3q = 2p - 1
3) Divide 3 on both side (to isolate q)
q =
$91/$14=$6.5 so the unit rate is $6.50
Answer:
17 feets 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Converting the parameters to inches only:
Recall:
1 feets = 12 inches
Man's height : 5 feets 9 inches = (12 *5) + 9 = 69 inches
Man's shadow : 3 feets 6 inches = (12 * 3) + 6 = 42 inches
Tree's shadow : 10 feets 6 inches = (12 * 10) + 6 = 126 inches
(Tree's height / tree's shadow) = (man's height / man's shadow)
Let tree's height = x
x / 126 = 69 / 42
Solve for x
42x = 126 * 69
42x = 8694
x = 8694 / 42
x = 207 inches
207 / 12 = 17 feets 3 inches
