To eliminate a cariable in a system of equations, we multiply the variable by a factor that will make both coefficients of the variable to be equal.
Thus, we multiply the coefficient of y in the second equation by a factor that will make it equal to the coefficient of y in the first equation. i.e. multiply 1/2 by a factor that makes it equal to 3/4. and the factor is 3/2.
Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
72/64=x/8
=> x = (72×8)/64
=> x = 9.
hope this helps you.
If there is a failure rate of 2.4% that means 2.4 out of every 100 will fail.
Since there are 800 lightbulbs if you mutiply 2.4 by 8 you will get:
19.2
Answer:
y = 4 , x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 2y =8----------equ{1}
make 4x subject of the formula
4x = 8- 2y.................equ(2)
now, substitute 4x into equ{1}
4(8-2y) + 2y = 8
32 - 8y + 2y = 8
Collect like terms
-8y + 2y = 8 - 32
-6y = -24
divide both sides by -6
y = 4
Substitute y into equ(2)
4x = 8-2(4)
4x = 8 - 8
4x = 0
divide both sides by 4
x = o
CHECK
4(0) + 2(4) =8
0 + 8 = 8
