Answer:
8 and - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the larger number and y the smaller , then
x = 5y + 18 → (1)
3x + 4y = 16 → (2)
substitute x = 5y + 18 into (2)
3(5y + 18) + 4y = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
15y + 54 + 4y = 16
19y + 54 = 16 ( subtract 54 from both sides )
19y = - 38 ( divide both sides by - 19 )
y = - 2
substitute y = - 2 into (1)
x = 5(- 2) + 18 = - 10 + 18 = 8
then larger number is 8 and smaller is - 2
He can make 3 batches of soup.
Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.
0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10
We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:
7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5
Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5
Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
3x+3 + 10x-4 +90 (because complementary angle add up to 90)
13x-1+90 (add 1)
13x/13=91 (divide 13 on both sides)
x=7
now you fill in 7 for x
m<K=24 and m<L=66

Answer:
9.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we need to isolate it [get it alone on one side]
We should start by simplifying (combining the like-terms of our equation):
5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2
10 = 5x + 3
- 3 - 3 (subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x)
7 = 5x
÷5 ÷5 (divide both sides by 5 to find "1"x)
So, x =
(x = 7/5)
hope this helps!!
