8x-9y=19
4x+y=-7
Multiply all terms of the 2nd by (9)===> 36x + 9y= 63
add (36x 9y= 63) to the 1st ===> 44x+0y = -44 ===> x=-1
replace x by this value in any of the equation & you'll get y=-3
Hello!
I take that the "/" was meant to be a fraction. There fore, your answer would be

The correct question is
<span>A student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb. Another student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb. Altogether, what weight of candies did they eat?</span>
let
x-------> total <span>weight of candies
we know that
x=(3/20)*x+1.2+(3/5)*x+0.3
</span>x=(3/20)*x+(3/5)*x+1.5----> multiply by 20----> 20x=3x+12x+30
20x=15x+30
20x-15x=30
5x=30
x=6 lb
the answer is
6 lb
Answer:
The distance she bikes is 11/6 times as much as the distance she runs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex bikes 2.75 miles, runs 1.5 miles. The distance she bikes is 2.75/1.5 times as much as the distance she runs.
The distance she bikes is 11/6 times as much as the distance she runs.
Since we need to find the number of ways they could enter first, second and third place, (I can't demonstrate, but you should get the idea) take 8, 7 and 6 and multiply them, 5-1 we don't need, we just need 8, 7, and 6, multiply those three numbers and you get 336, there you go, 336 ways to organize all 8 girls in first, second and third place, hope this helps
