<span><span><span><span><span><span>4x+5y = 11 and 2x+6y = 16
</span>Let's start by solving 4x+5y = 11 for the variable x.
<span>Move the 5y to the right hand side by subtracting 5y from both sides, like this:
</span><span>From the left hand side:
<span>5y - 5y = 0
</span></span><span>The answer is 4x
</span></span><span>From the right hand side:
<span>The answer is 11-5y</span></span><span>
Now, the equation reads:
4x = 11-5y 
To isolate the x, we have to divide both sides of the equation by theother variables
around the x on the left side of the equation.
</span><span>The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by 4 like this:
<span>To divide x by 1
</span><span>The x just gets copied along in the numerator.</span><span>The answer is x</span><span>4x ÷ 4 = x
</span><span>To divide 11-5y by 4</span><span>divide each term in 11-5y by 4 term by term.</span><span>11 ÷ 4 =11/4
</span><span>To divide y by 1
</span><span>The y just gets copied along in the numerator.</span></span><span>-5y ÷ 4 =</span><span>The solution to your equation is:
x =</span><span><span>Next, let's solve 2x+6y = 16 for the variable y.
<span>Move the 2x to the right hand side by subtracting 2x from both sides, like this:
</span><span>From the left hand side:
<span>2x - 2x = 0</span></span><span>The answer is 6y</span></span><span>From the right hand side:
<span>The answer is 16-2x</span></span><span>
Now, the equation reads:
6y = 16-2x 
To isolate the y, we have to divide both sides of the equation by theother variables
around the y on the left side of the equation.
</span><span>The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by 6 like this:
<span>To divide y by 1</span><span>The y just gets copied along in the numerator.</span><span>The answer is y</span><span>6y ÷ 6 = y</span><span>To divide 16-2x by 6</span><span>divide each term in 16-2x by 6 term by term.</span><span>16 ÷ 6 =</span><span>To divide x by 1</span><span>The x just gets copied along in the numerator.</span></span><span>-2x ÷ 6 =</span><span>The solution to your equation is:
y =</span><span>Now, plug the earlier result, x=11/4-5/4y, in for x everywhere it occurs in 
y=8/3-1/3x.
This gives y=8/3-1/3(11/4-5/4y). Now all we have to do is solve this for y,to have our first solution.
<span><span>8/3 evaluates to </span><span>1/3 evaluates to </span><span>11/4 evaluates to </span><span>5/4 evaluates to </span><span>Multiply y and</span><span>Multiply y and 1</span><span>The y just gets copied along.</span><span>The answer is y</span>y<span>5/4*y evaluates to </span><span>11/4-5/4*y evaluates to </span><span>Multiply by</span><span>we multiply by each term in term by term.</span>This is the distributive property of multiplication.<span>Multiply and</span>1<span> × =</span><span>Multiply and</span><span>Multiply 1 and y</span><span>The y just gets copied along.</span>y<span> × =</span><span>1/3*(11/4-5/4*y) evaluates to </span><span> - =</span><span>The answer is</span><span>8/3-1/3*(11/4-5/4*y) evaluates to </span><span>Move the to the left hand side by subtracting from both sides, like this:
From the left hand side:
<span>y - =</span></span><span>The answer is</span><span>From the right hand side:
<span> - = 0</span></span><span>The answer is</span><span>
Now, the equation reads:
 = 
To isolate the y, we have to divide both sides of the equation by theother variables
around the y on the left side of the equation.
</span><span>The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by like this:
<span>To divide y by 1</span><span>The y just gets copied along in the numerator.</span><span>The answer is y</span><span> ÷ = y</span><span> ÷ = 3</span><span>The solution to your equation is:
y = 3</span><span>Lastly, to find the solution for x, we plug this answer for y into the earlier result that
x=11/4-5/4y.
This gives x=11/4-5/4(3). Now, simplify this.
<span><span>11/4 evaluates to </span><span>5/4 evaluates to </span><span>Multiply and 3</span>1<span>5/4*(3) evaluates to </span><span>11/4-5/4*(3) evaluates to -1</span><span>x= -1</span><span>So, the solutions to your equations are:
x= -1 and y= 3</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span>The answer is x</span></span><span>The answer is y</span>

4x+5y=11
2x+6y=16

2x=16-6y
x=8-3y

4(8-3y)+5y=11
32-12y+5y=11
-7y=-21
y=3

4x+5(3)=11
4x+15=11
4x=-4

The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.
swat32

Answer:

  • The amount of water is the dependent value.
  • The amount of rice is the independent value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "the amount of water required for different amounts of rice" suggests that the "output" value of the table is the amount of water, and the "input" value is the amount of rice.

That makes "water" the <em>dependent</em> variable, and "rice" the <em>independent</em> variable.

  The amount of water is the dependent value.

  The amount of rice is the independent value.
