Solve for y for both equations then equate and solve:

5x + 9y = 160
9y = 160 - 5x
y = 160/9 - 5/9x

9x + 8y = 202
8y = 202 - 9x
y = 202/8 - 9/8x

160/9 - 5/9x = 202/8 - 9/8x (common denominator is 72)

1280/72 - 40/72x = 1818/72 - 81/72x
1818/72 - 1280/72 = 81/72x - 40/72x
538/72 = 41/72x
538 = 41x
538/41 = x
x = 13 5/41

Which of the following is the missing justification?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

B and C

2. B Multiplication property of equality

3. C Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given

$\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot x+6=5$

2. Multiply this equation by 5:

$\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot x+6\right)\cdot 5=5\cdot 5$

Multiplication property of equality

3. Use distributive property of equality:

$\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot x\cdot 5+6\cdot 5=25\\ \\x+30=25$

4. Subtract 30:

$x+30-30=25-30\\ \\x=-5$

Subtraction property of equality.

A chicken salad recipe calls for 1 8

NARA [144]

Answer: $1.0625\ pounds$ or $\frac{17}{16}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for $\frac{1}{8}$ pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make $8\frac{1}{2}$ serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

$8+0.5=8.5$
