5 ounces!!!! I studied the gallon hour
The fraction is 373/500 (this cannot be simplified any further)
and the decimal is .746 (373 divided by 500)
Answer:
9/25
Step-by-step explanation:
-3y = -2x - 1
y = x - 1
Substitute the y in the first problem for it's equivalent (the second problem):
-3(x - 1) = -2x - 1
Distribute
-3x + 3 = -2x - 1
Add 2x to both sides
-1 x + 3 = -1
Subtract 3 from both sides
-1x = -4
x = 4
Now put that back into one of the original equations:
y = x - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
So, x is 4 and y is 3.
