Answer:
34x + 45y = 192.25
47x + 16y = 208
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x stand for peaches.
Let y stand for grapes.
Since we know that yesterday he sold 35 pounds of peaches ( x ) and 45 pounds of grapes ( y ) for $192.25, we can create an equation to represent this using two variables; peaches and grapes.
We can do the same thing with the amount of peaches and grapes he sold today. Once we make this equation, we will have two equations to make the system of equations to solve for x and y.
Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y
Then the pair of equations
-3/x + 4/y = 11
1/x - 2/y = -5
Can be written as
-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)
u - 2v = -5......................................(2)
From (2)
u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)
Substituting (3) into (1)
-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11
-6v + 15 + 4v = 11
-6v + 4v = 11 - 15
-2v = -4
v = 4/2 = 2
Substituting this value of v in (3)
u = 2v - 5
u = 2(2) - 5
= 4 - 5
= -1
That is
u = -1, v = 2
Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have
1/x = -1
=> x = -1
And
1/y = 2
=> y = 1/2
Therefore
x = -1 and y = 1/2
75% of medicine this person took, you do that by doing 420/560 and you get .75. Then you move the decimal over twice since it asks for a percent and you get 75%
There are .3 decimeters in 3 centimeters
Answer:
105 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
first you would subtract 60 by 20 to get 40 then your time would be at 9:00 so in order to get to 10:00 you would have 60 minutes which you would add the 40 to to get 100 minutes then add 5 to bring your time to 10:05 and your total number of minutes to 105
