Given:
The system of equations that represent the constraints for the given situation is
To find:
The solution of given system of equations.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 4.
...(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (ii), we get
Divide both sides by 12.90.
Put this value in (i).
The solution of system of equations is x=1.5 and y=2.75. It means, the yards of silk are 1.5 and yards of cotton are 2.75.
Teacher will have 3 bottles of glue after he combines
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
The art teacher has 7 bottles of glue that are each 2/5 full
He combines them so he will have fewer bottles
<em><u>To find: bottles of glue does he have after he combines them</u></em>
From given,
Total bottles = 7
Each is 2/5 full
Therefore, multiply 7 with 2/5 to get total bottles of glues he will have after combining
Thus teacher will have 3 bottles of glue after he combines
