Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"Two times one number added to three times a second number is 21.
2x + 3y = 21
"The second number is ten less than five times the first number"
y = 5x-10
Substitution
2x+3(5x-10) = 21
2x + 15x - 30 = 21
17x = 51
x = 3
y = 5x-10 = 5
Eight goes into 45, 5 times so it would be 5 and 5/8.
Answer:
34/15
Step-by-step explanation:
I recognized the form of this decimal as a number divided by 3. However, when I multiplied it by 3, I got 6.8. This means that the fraction was not fully simplified. Multiplying by 5, I got 34. Since I had to multiply by 3 and then by 5 to get there, I multiplied by a total of 15. Hope this helps!
