The coefficients of x are already opposites, so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate x.

... (-7x +3y) + (7x -2y) = (14) + (-14)

... y = 0 . . . . . . . simplify

... -7x + 3·0 = 14  . . . . substitute the value of x into the first equation

.. x = 14/(-7) = -2

The solution is (x, y) = (-2, 0).

Calculate the number of acres required to produce 1,000 gallons of oil in one year from microalgae and soybeans. Which one (micr
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

microalgae required less space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of oil to be produced = 1,000 gallons

Now,

We know

10,000 gallons of oil is extracted from the miroalgae per acre per year

and,

From soyabeans the oil extracted = 50 gallons per acre per year

therefore,

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by microalgae

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from microalgae]

= 1,000 ÷ 10,000

= 0.1 acres

similarly

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by soyabeans

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from soyabeans]

= 1,000 ÷ 50

= 20 acres

hence,

microalgae required less space.
