Answer:
(x, y) = (-4, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations have the same coefficient for y, so you can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here the x coefficient is largest for the first equation, so it will work best to subtract the second equation.
(3x +y) -(2x +y) = (3) -(7)
x = -4 . . . . . . . . simplify
Now, we can find y by substituting this value for x.
2(-4) +y = 7
y = 7 +8 = 15 . . . . . add 8 to both sides of the equation
The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 15).
Answer:
7 Hours 12 Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.
G'Day mate! Here's the answer:
53 1/3
1. 6(3 + 6) - 4/5
2. 6 x 3 is 18, and 6 x 8 is 48
3. 18 plus 48 is 66
4. 66 - 4/5 = 266/5
5. 266/5 as mixed number is 53 1/5
