System of equations, 3x - 6y =2 5x + 4y = 1

1 answer:

7 0

3x-6y=2 (label equation 1)
5x+4y=1 (label equation 2)
-6y=-3x+2 (rearranged equation 1)
y=1/2x-1/3 (label equation 3)
substitute equation 3 into equation 2
5x+4(1/2x-1/3)=1
5x+2x-4/3=1
15x+6x-4=3 (multiplied everything by 3)

21x-4=3
+4 +4
21x=7
x= 7/21
x=1/3
sub x=7/21 into equation 3
y= 1/2(1/3) -1/3
y= -1/6

Therefore x=1/3 and y= -1/6

You want your daily sodium intake to be less than 2300 milligrams. For breakfast, you eat a cereal bar with the nutrition label

ipn [44]

According to the information in the nutritional table, it can be inferred that the amount of milligrams of sodium that we should consume during the rest of the day must be less than 2,175mg,

<h3>How to calculate the amount of sodium we can consume?</h3>

To calculate the amount of sodium that we can consume during the rest of the day after breakfast, we must subtract the value of sodium consumed to the amount of total sodium that we want to ingest as shown below:

2300mg - 125mg = 175mg

According to the above, it can be inferred that after consuming the cereal bar at breakfast, we should consume an amount less than or equal to 2,175mg of sodium in the other meals of the day (lunch, dinner and snacks).
