Answer: x=7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the answer will be something like 18
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
4/20 is your ratio. Simplify it and it'd be 1/5. This means in 1 mile has been walked in 5 minutes. 3 x 5 is 15, so it took Susan 15 minutes.
3x + 4y = 38 ( equation 1) ----> ×5
5x - 5y = -30 ( equation 2) ----> ×3
When you multiply eqn 1 by 5 you get, 15x + 20y = 190
And when you multiply eqn 2 by 3, you get, 15x - 15y = -90
Then you solve both equations by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1
15x + 20y = 190
15x - 15y = 90
Then 15x - 15x gets cancelled and 20y - (-15y) gives 35y and 190 - (-90) gives 280.
So that gives 35y = 280
y = 8
And when you replace y = 8 in any of the two equations, x = 2
He needs only one because 2 is bigger than 5/6
hope this helps and you rate me good
