Answer: (6 , 3)
Step-by-step explanation: Given
x + 3y =15 ------- equation 1
4x + 2y = 30 --------- equation 2
x = 15 - 3y
Put value of x in equation 2
4 (15 - 3y) + 2y = 30
60 - 12y + 2y = 30
-10y = -30
divide by '-10' on both sides
y = 3
now, put value of y in equation 1
x + 3(3) = 15
x + 9 = 15
x = 15 - 9
x = 6
So , (x , y) = (6 , 3)
4.16 I think if I did the math right
378 feet
Its to long to explain but thats the answer
8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x: 0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces
