Good job, you got the equations! XD

I'll just help you solve

Multiply the 2nd row by 9
9x+9y=117
9x+27y=207

Subtract the 2nd row from the 1st row
−18y=−90
Divide both sides by −18
y=−90/−18
Two negatives make a positive
y=90/18
y = 5

Substitute 5 into an equation
9x+9(5)=117
9x+45=117
Subtract 45 from both sides
9x=117−45

9x=72
Divide both sides by 9
x = ___

Hope this will help

Answer:

466,56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 36 inches

1 cubic yard = 36*36*36 = 46656 cubic inches

46656 = 20*5*l => l = 46656/100 = 466, 56 inches

When 2(3/5 x + 2/3 y - 1/4 x -1 1/2 y + 3 )is simplified, what is the resulting expression?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$ we get $\mathbf{42x-100y-360}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$

First we will solve terms inside the bracket

$2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$

Converting mixed fraction $1\frac{1}{2} y$ into improper fraction, we get: $\frac{3}{2}y$

Replacing the term:

$2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{2}y +3)$

Now, taking LCM of: 5,3,4,2 we get 60

Now multiply 60 with each term inside the bracket

$2(\frac{3}{5}x\times60+\frac{2}{3}y\times60-\frac{1}{4}x\times60-\frac{3}{2}y\times60 +3\times60)\\2(3x\times12+2y\times20-1x\times15-3x\times30-3\times60)\\2(36x+40y-15x-90y-180)$
