1 cup = 8 fluid oz
8 × 8 = 64
So Joshua drinks 64 fluid ounces a day
Hope this helped. Have a great day!
Answer:
Solve by substitution
[y=5/2x-4]
[y= -x+3]
Substitute y = -x +3
[-x+3=5/2x-4]
Isolate x for -x+3=5/2x-4: x=2
For y = -x+3
Substitute x = 2
y= -2+3
Simplify
y=1
The solutions to the system of equations are:
y=1 x=2
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here
Answer:
x+3y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x+3y)=18
x+3y=18/-2
x+3y=-9
The answer to this problem is x = 52/19 = 2.737... I hope...
