294 miles per 14 gallons = 21 miles per 1 gallon
Answer:
x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I will solve your system by substitution.
(You can also solve this system by elimination.)
3x+y=2;5x−y=8
Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:
3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)
y=−3x+2
Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:
5x−y=8
5x−(−3x+2)=8
8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)
8x=10

Answer:
x = -4 / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.
The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.
21/5 = x/100
We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.
