Answer:

( - \frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{4} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

9x + 8y = 3 → (1)

6x - 12y = - 11 → (2)

To eliminate the y- term multiply (1) by 1.5

13.5x + 12y = 4.5 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(6x + 13.5x) + (- 12y + 12y) = (- 11 + 4.5)

19.5x = - 6.5 ( divide both sides by 19.5 )

x = \frac{-6.5}{19.5} = - \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Using (1), then

- 3 + 8y = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

8y = 6 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}

Solution is (- \frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{4} )

HELP ASAP!!! I SUCK AT MATH AND I DON’T understand this!!!
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Part A:

\frac{13}{20}

Part B:

\frac{1}{39}

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of candies is 40.

10 + 14 + 4 + 12 = 40

14 are Butterfinger and 12 are Crunch.

14 + 12 = 26

\frac{26}{40}

\frac{26}{40}=\frac{26/2}{40/2}=\frac{13}{20}

\frac{10}{40} =\frac{10/10}{40/10} =\frac{1}{4}

40 - 1 = 39

\frac{4}{39}

\frac{1}{4} × \frac{4}{39}

\frac{1}{39}

A 14-ounce box of cereal sells for $2.10. What is the unit rate?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The unit rate is equal to 0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second term is equal to one

In this problem to find the unit rate, divide the total cost of cereal by the total weight of cereal

so

\frac{2.10}{14}\frac{\$}{ounces} =0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}

therefore

The unit rate is equal to 0.15\frac{\$}{ounce}
