X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.
Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42

Answer:
The fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house that was traveled on Sunday is 1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance from Madison house to her uncle is 1 unit
She travels 5/7th of the total distance on Saturday
Remaining distance = 
She travels 1/2 of the remaining distance on Sunday.
Hence, the fraction of the total distance to her uncle's house that was traveled on Sunday is 1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7
Answer:
6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume = w × h × l
120 = 4 × 5 × l
l = 120 / 20
l = 6 ft
The answer is 2 miles or 3520 yards. (they are the same answer.)
If this helps, can you give me the brainliest answer? I need it...
Thank you very much.
