Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.
the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.
keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?
well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.
so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.
Answer:
(5,-3) if the system is
y=x-8
2x+3y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the system is to read:
y=x-8
2x+3y=1.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm going to plug 1st equation into 2nd equation giving me:
2x+3(x-8)=1 ->I replaced y with (x-8).
Distribute:
2x+3x-24=1
Combine like terms:
5x-24=1
Add 24 on both sides:
5x=25
Divide both sides by 5:
x=5
If y=x-8 and x=5, then y=5-8=-3.
The solution is (5,-3).
