Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of singing act be x
Let the number of comedy act be y
If the total act is 14, then;
x+y = 14..... 1
If singing acts are 4.5 minutes long and comedy acts are 3.5 minutes long and the acts lasts 59 minutes, then:
4.5x + 3.5y = 59 .......... 2
Solve both equation simultaneously for x and y
x+y = 14
45x+35y = 590
.................................
x+y = 14......... *9
9x+7y = 118....... 1
...............................
9x+9y = 126
9x+7y = 118
Subtract both equations
9y-7y = 126-118
2y = 8
y = 8/2
y = 4
Substitute y = 4 into equation 1;
From 1: x+y = 14
x+4 = 14
x = 14-4
x =10
Hence there are 10 singing acts and 4 comedy acts in the show
Answer:
that is 6 and 5/ 12 cups of flour are required
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of cups required to make a loaf of bread
= 3 + ¾
making their denominators equal and that to 4
= 12/ 4 + 3/ 4
adding numerators
= (12 + 3)/ 4
= 15/ 4
total cups of flour required to make pretzels
= 2 + ⅔
making their denominators equal and that to 3
= 6/ 3 + 2/ 3
adding nunerators
= (6 + 2)/ 3
= 8/ 3
Total cups required:-
= 15/ 4 + 8/ 3
taking lcm of denominators to make the fractions equivalent
= {(15 × 3) + (8 × 4)}/ 12
= {45 + 32}/ 12
= 77/ 12

<em>that is 6 and 5/ 12 cups of flour are required</em>.

Answer:
x = 14.5 y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
get the x alone by subtracting 5y from both sides
10x + 5y = 150
- 5y -5y
10x = -5y + 150
divide both sides by 10
<u>10x</u> = <u>-5y + 150</u>
10 10
x = -0.5y + 15
Now that we've solved for x, we can plug it into the original equation
10 (-0.5y + 15) + 5y = 150
now we solve for y the same way we did x
first distribute 10 into (-0.5y + 15)
-5 + 150 +5y = 150
now we get the y alone
-5 + 150 + 5y = 150
+5 -150 -150 +5
5y = 5
now divide by 5
<u>5y</u> = <u>5</u>
5 5
y = 1
now that we have both x and y, we plug y into our solution for x
x = -0.5y + 15
x = -0.5(1) + 15
x= -0.5 + 15
x = 14.5
