Ok here is what I think.
Let us first number these statements, as #1, and #2.
First statement: 3x + 8y = 12 (1)
Second Statement: 2x + 2y = 3 (2)
Now, we can work from this.
We want to make one of the equations be equal to 0 so that at the end when we check they can be equal to each other.
Let us use 4.
3x+8y=12 1-8x-8y=-12 2
This gives us:-5x = 0
Now we should try and isolate x so we can substitute it into one of the equations.
We have -5x=0
and x=0
3(0)+8y=12
8y=12
y=12/8
y=3/2
Plug in these new equations
y=3/2 and y=0 into any of the first equations
3x+8y=12 3(0)+8(3/2)= 12 8(3/2)=12 4(3)=12 12=12
Now we know it works, thats our check^^
It will take her 4 days to read 1/3 of the book.
The answer is 4.
Jamal's score is 80
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Number of questions = 100
Let w be the number of wrong answers
Let r be the number of right answers
According to question,
r = 4w
r + w = 100
Solving both the equations we get:
4w + w = 100
5w = 100
w = 20
If w = 20 then r = 4 X 20 = 80
Therefore, Jamal's score is 80
