Answer: B.792
Step-by-step explanation:
Each container is 50 pounds, forget about the second sentence it's just there to confuse you. One ton is 2,000 pounds, half of that is 1,000 lbs. 1,000 divided by 20 is 50. 50 pounds each.
Solution:
Using Substitution Method:
-4x+7y=-5 (Equation 1)
x-3y=-5 (Equation 2)
get the value of x from Equation 2
x=3y-5 (Equation 3)
Put the value of x from Equation 3 in Equation 1
-4(3y-5)+7y=-5
-4(3y)+20+7y=-5
-12y+7y=-5-20
-5y=-25
Negative sign on both sides cancels each other
y=25/5
y=5
Putting value of y in equation 3
x=3(5)-5
x=15-5
x=10
Therefore, [x,y]=[10,5]
Using Elimination Method
-4x+7y=-5 (Equation 1)
x-3y=-5 (Equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 with -4 in order to eliminate the x term
-4(x-3y)=-5*4
-4x+12y=20 (Equation 3)
Adding Equation 1 and 3
-4x+7y=-5
-4x+12y=20
+ - = - (Change Of Sign with x and y terms)
-----------------
0x-5y = -25
-5y=-25
y=5
Substituting y’s value is Equation 1
-4x+7(5)=-5
-4x+35=-5
-4x=-40
Cancellation of negative sign on both sides
x=40/4
x=10
[x,y]=[10,5]
