Y = 6x
4x + y = 7
(substitute y = 6x in the ‘y’ spot in 4x + y = 7)
4x + 6x = 7
10x = 7
/10 on both sides
x = 7/10
(substitute x = 7/10 in the ‘x’ spot in either of the two equations)
y = 6x
y = 6(7/10)
y = 4.2 = 21/5
Answer:
x = 7/10
y = 21/5
Y = -(1/2)x + 4
y + (1/2)x =4
(1/2)x + y = 4
Multiply both sides by 2
2*(1/2)x + 2*y = 2*4
x + 2y = 8
Option B.
Given:
$184500 are to be divided between 2 people.
One person has 80% of what the other person has.
To find:
The amount each one receive in $.
Solution:
Let $x be the amount received by first person. Then,
Amount received by the second person = 80% of x
= 0.80x
Total amount = Amount received by first person + by second person
=
=
Total amount is 184500. So,
So, the amount received by the first person is $102,500.
So, the amount received by the second person is $82,000.
The sum of 3/4 7/12 is 4/3
