Answer:x=53/6 and y=-55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number x

Second number b y

Sum of the numbers x+y=-1/3

x-y=18

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

We get

2y=-55/3

y=-55/6

Substitute for y in equation 1

x+55/6=18

x=18-55/6

x=53/6

Rita bought some large packets of salt weighing 500grams each and some small packets of salt weighing 200 grams each. If she has

Rama09 [41]

L+S=8, L=8-S

500L+200S=2200, using L from above in this equation gives you:

500(8-S)+200S=2200

4000-500S+200S=2200

4000-300S=2200

-300S=-1800

S=6, and since L=8-S:

L=2

So Rita bought 2 large packets and 6 small packets.

Solve for k 5/8(3k+1)-1/4(7k+2)=1

lesya [120]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{5}{8}(3k+1)-\dfrac{1}{4}(7k+2)=1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{5}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(3k+1)-8\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(7k+2)=8\cdot1\\\\5(3k+1)-2(7k+2)=8\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(5)(3k)+(5)(1)+(-2)(7k)+(-2)(2)=8\\\\15k+5-14k-4=8\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(15k-14k)+(5-4)=8\\\\k+1=8\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\k=7$
