Do 1/3 x 1/2 to get 1/6, or you could think, 1/3 divided by 2, which would equal 1/3 x 1/2
Step 1. Multiply first equation with -3 and the second one with 2. You'll get:

Step 2. Add both equations together. You'll get:

, which gives x = -2
Step 3. Replace x = -2 in the first equation and calculate y.

The solution is: x=-2, y=5
Answer: John's situation
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation for each situation.
John’s situation:
The amount of money that John has (y) is equal to his school account (40) minus the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he spends per day( 3)
y =40-3x
As days pass by, John has less money (negative rate of change)
Judy's situation
The amount of money that Judy has in her savings account (y) is equal to the product of the number of days (x) and the amount he saves per day (20/2)
y = x (20/2)
Answer:
27.8 Celsius
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to convert Fahrenheit and Celsius is:
F = (9/5)C + 32
82 = (9/5)C + 32 -- subtract 32 from both sides
50 = (9/5)C -- multiply both sides by 5
250 = 9C -- divide by 9
27.777 = C
round up to 27.8 C
