Answer:
x + 3y = 5
5x - 3y = 7
Add up both equations, then:
6x = 12
=> x = 2
=> y = (5 - 2)/3 = 1
If I understand the drawing correctly than yes, because
6 9/12 + 6 9/12 = 12 and 18/12 = 13 and 6/12 or 13 and 1/2.
13 1/2 + 4 8/12 = 13 6/12 + 4 8/12 = 17 and 14/12 = 18 2/12 or 18 and 1/6.
Answer: Santa's speed in still air is 6 miles per minute
Speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of Santa in still air. It is assumed that in still air. She is flying with the wind. If the speed of the wind is y, then him total speed is x + y
It takes Santa 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind.
Speed = distance / time
It means that
x + y = 35/5 = 7
It takes him 7 minutes to fly 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed will be x - y
Speed = distance/time. Therefore,
x - y = 35 /5 = 5 - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes
7 - y - y = 5
-2y = 5 - 7 = -2
y = -2/-2 = 1
x = 7 - y = 7 - 1
x = 6
Answer:
x = 6/3y+1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+3xy=6
Step 1: Factor out variable x.
x(3y+1)=6
Step 2: Divide both sides by 3y+1.
x(3y+1) / 3y+1
so x = 6/3y+1
It will take 16 weeks to collect 400 cans
So 16 multipled by 25 would give you 400
