10 / (1/3); she has 30 pounds of seeds in her supply.
The answer is x=7 cuz 17x+1=120
(2x + 3y = 12) x (-2)
(4x - 3y = 6) x 1
-4x - 6y = -24
4x - 3y = 6
You can cancel out the x values by adding the two equations together.
(-4x + 4x) + (-6y - 3y) = (-24 + 6)
-9y = -18
y = 2
Solve for x now...
4x - 3(2) = 6
4x - 6 = 6
4x = 12
x = 3
Check... (x = 3, y = 2)
2(3) + 3(2) = 12
6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 <- this works!
4(3) - 3(2) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 <- this works!
Answer:
28 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of students in cooking club = x
Number of students in fencing club = 1/5 x
Number of students in chess club = 2(1/5)x
Since, There are 42 more students in the cooking club than in the chess club
Then ;
Number of students in chess club = Number of students in cooking club - 42
2(1/5)x = x - 42
(2/5)x - x = - 42
(2/5)x - x = - 42
-0.6x = - 42
x = 42 / 0.6
x = 70
Hence, number of students in chess club :
(2/5) * 70 = 28
