40 fifth graders take a bus to school. 8x8= 64 so they have you a good fraction to start with to find out how many kids are walking or taking their bike (3/8) all you have to do is multiply 3 and 8 which equals 24 to find the fraction of the amount of kids who take the bus you subtract 3 from 8 which gives 5/8 and to get the answer you multiply 5 and 8 which is 40.
The answer would be y = -4/7x + 2
Answer:
{x,y,z} = {-18,4,2}
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve equation [2] for the variable x
x = -10y + 2z + 18
Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
(-10y+2z+18) + 9y + z = 20
- y + 3z = 2
Plug this in for variable x in equation [3]
3•(-10y+2z+18) + 27y + 2z = 58
- 3y + 8z = 4
Solve equation [1] for the variable y
y = 3z - 2
Plug this in for variable y in equation [3]
- 3•(3z-2) + 8z = 4
- z = -2
Solve equation [3] for the variable z
z = 2
By now we know this much :
x = -10y+2z+18
y = 3z-2
z = 2
Use the z value to solve for y
y = 3(2)-2 = 4
Use the y and z values to solve for x
x = -10(4)+2(2)+18 = -18
