You want to try and get rid of one of the variables ( x or y) so you would multiply the second equation by 2 which would make the x variable -2x which then when added to the first equation would eliminate the x variable.
Answer: c. Multiply the second equation by 2.
Answer:
Klorina's rate in still water is 4.5 km/h
Current's rate is 0.5 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x km/h = Klorina's rate in still water
y km/h = current's rate
<u>With the current (current helps):</u>
Distance = 10 km
Time = 2 hours
Rate = x + y km/h
<u>Against the current:</u>
Distance = 8 km
Time = 2 hours
Rate = x - y km/h
Divide both equations by 2:
Add these equations:
Subtract these two equations:
Answer: She uses 10.8 yards of fabric per curtain.
Step-by-step explanation:
84.5 - 19.7 = 64.8
64.8/6 = 10.8
Answer:
2---> 1/2
