16x - 5y = -33 First, you subtract 16x from both sides of the
<u>-16x -16x </u> equation
<u>-5y</u> = <u>-16x -33</u> Next, you divide both sides of the equation by -5 to
-5 -5 make "y =" form
y = 16/5x + 33/5
For with the careless bones of the young men harvested by the night and bindled around campfires were the similarly strewn steel bones of their rifle, with bayonets fixed like eternal lightning lost in the orchard grass.
The word “harvested” is used figuratively in paragraph . How do you know it is used figuratively, and why did the author choose this word?
T 1 2 3 4
B 3 6 9 12
This is linear relationships B=3*T (it can be also called directly proportional)
If #peaches = x and #plums = y we can write the following equations:
x+y=15
0.89x + 0.39y = 8.85
and x and y are whole numbers.
converting the first to x=15-y and plugging it into the second, you get
0.89(15-y) + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
13.35 - 0.89y + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
4.5 = 0.5y =>
y = 9
so x = 15-9 = 6
She bought 9 plums and 6 peaches.
