Answer:
x = 4/7
y = 60/7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 36
y = x + 8
Substitute the second equation into the first since it already has the y isolated for you:
3x + 4(x + 8) = 36
3x + 4x + 32 = 36
7x = 4
x = 4/7
Take the answer you got from the equation above and plug that into the second equation:
y = 4/7 + 8
y = 60/7
To check just LS/RS both equations:
3(4/7) + 4(60/7) = 36
12/7 = 240/7 = 36
252/7 = 36
36 = 36
LS = RS
60/7 = 4/7 + 8
60/7 = 60/7
LS = RS
Answer:
20 books
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the shelf can hold 25 1/2 lbs (i.e 25.5 lbs), and that each book weighs 1 1/4 ln (i.e 1.25 lbs)
number of books which the shelf can hold
= weight that the shelf can hold ÷ weight of each book
= 25.5 ÷ 1.25
= 20.4 books
because having 0.4 of a book (i.e part of a book) would not be very feasable, we have to round the number of books down to the nearest whole number)
20.4 books rounded down to nearest whole number = 20 books (answer)
