18
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the least common multiple of 9 and 6 - that is 18. In this case you buy 2 packages of pencils and 3 package of pens.
1 )
1st and 2nd equation (multiply 1st by -2 ):
-2x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
2 x - y + 5 z = -9
---------------------------
- 11 y + 13 z = 11 / * ( -20 )
1st and 3rd:
- 2 x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
2 x - 10 y - 5 z = 0
-----------------------------
- 20 x + 3 z = 20 / * 11
----------------------------------
220 y - 260 z = -220
- 220 y + 33 z = 220
------------------------------
z = 0, y = -1, x = - 5
2 )
2 x - y + 5 = -4
- 2 x + 3 y - 5 = - 10
Substitution: y = 2 x + 9
- 2 x + 3(2 x + 9 ) = -5
4 x = - 32, x = -8, y = -7, z = 5
3 )
x + y + z = 11
1.5 x+3 y +1.5 z = 21
x = 2 y
------------------------
3 y + z = 11 / * (-2)
6 y + 1.5 z = 21
------------------------
- 6 y - 2 z = -22
6 y + 1.5 z = 21
------------------------
-0.5 z = -1, z = 2, y = 3, z = 6
Answer: the store used 6 pounds of peanuts, 3 pounds of almonds and 2 pounds of raisins.
Karen will have to buy 14 jars to have an equal weight of peanut butter
Answer:
To see how these fractions are equal, I divided the numerators by the denominators. For instance, you could have 4 over 5 (4/5) and divide 4 by 5 (4/5) to get 0.8. Now you'll do the same thing for the fractions given
24/45=0.533...
8/15=0.533...
48/90=0.533...
5/9=0.5556
As you can see, the only fraction that doesn't equal 0.53, or the outlier, is 5/9 or 0.5556
