Answer:
x = -1
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 1
y = -x + 1
y = -x + 1 (Multiply this by -1)
y = 3x +5
-y = x - 1
y = 3x +5
0 = 4x + 4
4x = -4
x = -1
x + y = 1
-1 + y = 1
y = 2
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The number of paint sets, Suzanne bought= 6
As each set contains the same number of brushes.
Let x be the number of brushes each set contains.
So, the total number of brushes in 6 sets = 6x.
It is given that the total number of brushes she has is 18, which is equals to 6x.
So, the required equation is
Hence, the number of paint brushes each set contains is 3.
L=16
W=21
Set up a systems of equations:
x=length
y=width
xy=336
x+5=y
Use substitution to solve:
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336
Solve using factoring:
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21
Since length can't be negative, l=16
To find width, plug length into the first equation:
(16)y=336
y=21
So...
L=16

Ratios are fractions. Equivalent means equal, if you change one set of numbers, you have to change the second set of numbers so then that Ratio or Equivalent fraction stays equal on both sides.
Answer:
cement by 5 Kg
Step-by-step explanation:
add the parts of the ratio, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10 parts
Divide the quantity of concrete by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
110Kg ÷ 10 = 11Kg ← value of 1 part of ratio , thus
5 parts = 5 × 11Kg = 55Kg ← cement required
4 parts = 4 × 11Kg = 44Kg ← sand required
1 part = 11Kg ← gravel required
He requires 55Kg of concrete but only has 50Kg.
He requires 44Kg of sand and has 55Kg
He requires 11Kg of gravel and has 15Kg
Thus he is 5Kg short of cement.
