Answer:
Multiply by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If we multiply 2x-6y=26 by 2, we get 4x-12y=52 and the x's cancel out, making it easier to solve for y, using the elimination process.
Hope this makes sense!
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that Sara has 8 ounces of vanilla yogurt in her cup and her father’s yogurt weighs 11 ounces. Then, the total ounces of frozen yogurt they buy altogether is:

The next step is to make the conversion from ounces to pounds.
You need to remember that:

Therefore:

This result expressed as a mixed number, is:

The two triangles we can see in the diagram are similar, which means that their measurements are proportional. Line MN on the larger triangle MNP is 71.5ft long, and its corresponding line, MA, on the smaller triangle is 71.5-22= 49.5ft long. This means that the scale factor from the bigger to the smaller triangle is 71.5/49.5=13/9.
If line MP on the bigger rectangle is 97.5ft long, then its corresponding line, MB, must be 97.5÷13/9=67.5 ft long.
Therefore, x=67.5 ft
Answer:
12 small boxes
8 large boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of small boxes shipped
let y be the number of large boxes shipped
This means:
the total number of boxes is 20, so
x + y = 20
the number of 50 pound boxes is x and the number of 100 pound boxes is y and together there are 1400 pounds, so
50x + 100y = 1400
Then, solve
First, simplify the equation 50x + 100y = 1400 by dividing both sides by 50
x + 2y = 28
Now, subtract the two equations:
x + 2y = 28
- (x + y = 20)
y = 8
Now plug this into the equation x + y = 20
x + 8 = 20
x = 12
So the number of small boxes is 12 and the number of large boxes is 8.
Here's a graph:
