Rabbits Cows Chickens
6 : 3 : 2

rabbits - chickens = 8

6 parts -2 parts = 8
4 parts =8
1 part =8/4
1 part =2

cows have 3 parts so
3 parts =cows
3 x 2 (1 part) = cows
cows = 6

How to substitute 3x+3y=-3 and y=5x-1?

schepotkina [342]

Since y = 5x-1, we can fill it into 3x + 3y = -3. First, let's look at relating to a simpler equation. Let's say that x + y = 9 and y = 3 + 5. Now, we can fill it in to get that x + (3 + 5) = 9. Now, we know that 3+5 is 8, so x + 8 = 9. Now, x = 1. Likewise, we can do the same. For 3x + 3y = -3, all we need to do is to switch the y in 3x + 3y = -3 with 5x - 1. So it would become 3x + 3(5x - 1) = -3. Now we distribute to get 3x + 15x - 3 = -3. Now add three to both sides to get 3x + 15x = 0. Now simplify to get 18x = 0. Now we know that x = 0. Now fill x into y = 5x - 1. So y = 5(0) - 1. Now we know that y = -1.

To check fill in the answer to 3x + 3y = -3.
3(0) + 3(-1) = -3
0 + (-3) = -3
0 - 3 = -3
-3 = -3
Now that our check is completed we now know that x is 0 and y is -1.

Kim and Danielle each improved their yards by planting hostas and ivy. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kim spent

Answer:

The cost of one hosta is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations of the first degree, in which two or more unknowns are related.

Solving a system of equations consists of finding the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are satisfied.

In this case, the variables are:

x = price of a hosta .
y = price of a pot of ivy.

If Kim spent $62 on 5 hostas and 4 pots of ivy, t his is represented by the equation: 5*x +4*y= 62

If Danielle spent $144 on 8 hostas and 12 pots of ivy, t his is represented by the equation: 8*x +12*y=144

So, the system of equations to solve is:

$\left \{ {{5*x+4*y=62} \atop {8*x+12*y=144}} \right.$

One way to solve a system of equations is through the substitution method, which consists of solving or isolating one of the unknowns (for example, x) and substituting its expression in the other equation. In this way, you obtain an equation of the first degree with the other unknown, and. Once solved, you calculate the value of x by substituting the already known value of y.

Isolating y from the first equation:

$y=\frac{62-5*x}{4}$
