Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given system:</u>
Eliminate r to solve for s.
<u>To do so, double the first equation and then subtract the second one:</u>
<u>Subtract</u>
- 4s - (-s) = 104 - 4
- 5s = 100
- s = 100/5
- s = 20
Correct choice is (4) 20
Given:
The system of equations that represent the constraints for the given situation is
To find:
The solution of given system of equations.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 4.
...(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (ii), we get



Divide both sides by 12.90.


Put this value in (i).



The solution of system of equations is x=1.5 and y=2.75. It means, the yards of silk are 1.5 and yards of cotton are 2.75.
Answer:
7/8 > 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Well look at it this way: 7/8 needs 1 more eighth until 1. 5/6 needs one more sixth until one. One eighth is smaller, so it requires a smaller amount to get to a greater number, if that makes sense. So 7/8 is greater than 5/6.
To determine which system of equations would have the same solution, we evaluate each system of equations.
System 1 4x − 5y = 2, 3x − y = 8
x = 38/11
y = 26/11
<span>System 2 4x − 5y = 2, 3x − 2y = 1
x = 1/7
y = -2/7
System 3 4x − 5y = 2, 3x − 8y = 4
x = -4/17
y = -10/17
System 4 4x − 5y = 2, 10x − 9y = 4
x = 1/7
y = -2/7
</span><span>
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. </span><span>System 2 and system 4 are equal, because the second equation in system 4 is obtained by adding the first equation in system 2 to two times the second equation in system 2.
4x− 5y = 2 2( 3x − 2y = 1)
----------------------- 10x - 9y = 4</span>
