Answer:
x = 7.535 and y = 0.307
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Two equations,
2x + 3y = 8 ...(1)
x – 5y = 6....(2)
Multiply equation (2) by -2.
-2x + 10y = -12....(3)
Now, adding equations (1) and (2),
2x + 3y -2x + 10y = 8-12
13y = 4
y = 0.307
Put the value of y in equation (2).
x – 5(0.307) = 6
x = 6 + 1.535
x = 7.535
So, the solutions of the given equation are x = 7.535 and y = 0.307.

Answer: 18%</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
Convert each percentage to decimal form
- 30% converts to 0.30
- 60% converts to 0.60
Then multiply the decimal values
0.30*0.60 = 0.18
That converts to 18%
So there's an 18% chance that both events happen at the same time. In other words, there's an 18% chance of the temperature falling below zero and the bus being late.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let (applicable to all three lines below)
- Hard candy = x kg with price $1.60/kg
- Gummy worms = y kg with price $2.20/kg
- Total weight = 50 kg with mixed price $1.75/kg
<u>Required equations:</u>
- x + y = 50 total weight
- 1.60x + 2.20y = 50*1.75 total price
=========================================
<u><em>Note</em></u><em>. It says don't solve but the solution below for those who is interested to know the answer.</em>
<u>Simplify the second equation and solve by substitution x = 50 - y:</u>
- 1.6(50 - y) + 2.2y = 87.5
- 80 - 1.6y +2.2y = 87.5
- 0.6y = 7.5
- y = 7.5/0.6
- y = 12.5
<u>Find the value of x:</u>
<u>Hard candy</u> = 37.5 kg and <u>gummy worms</u> = 12.5 kg
<span>Equation:
train distance + plane distance = 1300 miles
50x + 275x = 1300
x(325) = 1300
x = 4 hours
4x2=8
