Answer:
(x, y) = (1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
x + y = 4 → (1)
y = 3x → (2)
Substitute y = 3x into (1)
x + 3x = 4
4x = 4 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y
y = 3 × 1 = 3
solution is (1, 3 )
Answer:
Alex baked 9 cherry pies
Step-by-step explanation:
apple : blueberry : cherry = 1:4:3
apple + blueberry + cherry = 24
1 part: 24 / ( 1+4+3) = 24 / 8 = 3
** Cherry has 3 parts: 3 x 3 = 9
check: apple = 3 x 1 = 3
blueberry: 3 x 4 = 12
12 + 3 + 9 = 24
12 hours = 35 miles
1 hour = 35 / 12
= 2.91666667 miles
= 2 miles per hour.
Answer
3 3/8 ÷ (3/4) = (9/2) = 4 ½
Explanation
We are asked to evaluate 3 3/8 divided by 3/4 using cross multiplication algorithm.
The algorithm will need us to put the mixed fraction in definite fraction form (improper fraction) and to evaluate the division, we change the division sign into multiplication sign and the fraction after the division sign changes into its reciprocal.
3 3/8 = (27/8)
(3 3/8) ÷ (3/4)
= (27/8) ÷ (3/4)

Hope this Helps!!!
