X*80+y*60= 50*74
x +y =50 | * ( -60)
80x + 60y= 50*74
-60x - 60y=-50*60
---------------------------
20x= 50*(74-60)=50*14
x=50*14/20=35 pounds of 80 cents tea
y=50-35=15 pounds of 60 cents tea
Answer: A = 20
How to Solve:
Just by looking at this problem I can tell that the denominators (9 an 45) are factors of 9. So the second equation is multiplied by 5 from the first equation.
4/9 x 5
4 x 5 = 20
— -—
9 x 5 = 45
So A would be 20.
Another way to solve this would be by multiplying the 1st equations numerator with the second equations denominator:
4 x 45 = 180
Then divide 180 with the 1st equation’s denominator.
180 / 9 = 20
A = 20
Yes, it is the longest river
Answer:
6.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you can set up an equation as such:
x²-18= 3x
Now, rearrange this to make it an equation in standard form:
x²-3x-18=0.
Simply turn this equation into factored form:
(x-6)(x+3)= 0.
The only positive solution here is x=6.
