Answer:
Possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the silk fiber = x yards.
Let the number of silk fibres = a.
It is given that the silk fibers between 3 to 10 yards are combined to form a silk thread of 300 yards.
So, we get the equation,
, where 
i.e. 
,
So, the possible values of 'a' are 3, 4, 5, 6 an 10.
Thus, the possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
First, convert "of" to x and put this info into an equation:
Let n represent the unknown number.
14.4 % x n= 10.4
n = 10.4 / 14.4%
n = 72.22222
n = ~72

Think of numbers that when they are divided by 10, the remainder is 9.
So numbers like: 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, and 99.
Now numbers that when they are divided by 9, the remainder is 8.
So numbers like: 17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80, 89, and 98.
Now the number that is alike from the two sets of numbers is n.
n=89
Double check your work.
Divide 89 by 10. Remainder of 9
Divide 89 by 9. Remainder of 8.

-7x-5y=-47x+9y=-4
combine like terms to cross out the 7x
solve for y, to get -2
plug it back in to one of the equations and x is 2
y=-2
x=2
Please explain.
