I believe this question logically tells us to find the value of w. The two equations are already equated. Since there is 1 unknown and 1 equation, the system is solvable. The solution is as follows:
5/(6w+21) = -1/3(2w - 9)
5/(6w+21) = -1/(6w - 27)
Cross multiplying the terms:
5(6w - 27) = -1(6w +21)
30w - 135 = -6w - 21
30w + 6w = -21 + 135 = 114
36w = 114
w = 114/36
w = 19/6 or 3.167
Answer:
D is incorrect this is your answer
Answer:
Option (1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of water hold by both the pitchers (Large + small) = 12 cups
Let the small pitcher holds the water = S cups
If the water hold by the large pitcher is twice the size of the small pitcher, then the amount of water hold by large pitcher = 2S
Total amount water hold by both = S + 2S
Equation for this situation will be,
S + 2S = 12
Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.
The correct answer is y= -18/3x
