There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
Answer:
The correct answers are:
0.95g
g - 0.05g
(1 - 0.05)g
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of last week's rain = g inches
this week = 5% decrease on last week's amount
5% of last week's amount = 5/100 × g = 0.05g
∴ This week's amount of rain = 0.05g decrease
∴ Amount of rain this week = (Amount of rain last week) - 0.05g
∴ Amount of rain this week = g - 0.05g
This can be simplified by factorizing the common term "g"
g - 0.05g = g(1 - 0.05) = 0.95g
B r = 178 + h;
b r + h = 676;
then, 178 + 2h = 676 => h = 498/2 = 249 => b r = 178 + 249 = 427;
Answer:
1.35kg
Step-by-step explanation:
450g : 6 people
x : 18 people
To get from 6 to 18, multiply by 3 so do the same to the other side
450 × 3 = 1350g
To convert from g to kg divide by 1000
1350 ÷ 1000 = 1.35kg
