Answer:

\huge\boxed{x = 6 , y = -2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \frac{1}{2} x - 3y = 9-----------(1)\\5x + y = 28 ----------(2)

Taking equation (1)

\sf \frac{1}{2} x -3 y=9

Multiplying both sides by 2

\sf x-6y = 18

Adding 6y to both sides

\sf x = 18+6y

Putting this in (2)

5(18+6y) + y = 28

5(18+6y) + y = 28

90 + 30y+y = 28

31y+90-28 = 0

31 y + 62 = 0

31y = -62

Dividing both sides by 31

y = -2

Now,

x = 18 + 6y

x = 18+6(-2)

x = 18-12

x = 6

1/2x - 3y = 9 (1)
5x + y = 28 (2)

(1) x 2
x - 6y = 18

(2) x 6
30x + 6y = 168
—————

x - 6y = 18 (3)
30x + 6y = 168 (4)

(3) + (4)
31x = 186
x = 6

sub x into (2)
30 + y = 28
y = -2
—————

x = 6
y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The side has to be between the angles.

For each container of tea, McKenzie uses 16 tea bags and 3 cups of sugar. If McKenzie uses 64 tea bags, how many cups of sugar w
cestrela7 [59]
So tis is a ratio  16 is to 3 or 16:3
if use 64 tea bags then how many cups of sugar so
turn 16:3 into fraction
16:3=16/3 or 3/16, it doesn't matter
then you want to find 64:x or 64/x or x/64

we know that 16/3=64/x because it tis an equivalent ratio
so 16/3=64/x
multiply both sdies by (3 times x)
16 times x times 3/3=64 times 3 times x/x
16 times x=64 times 3
16x=192
divide both sdies by 16
x=12
theanswer is 12 cups of sugar
