5(2y-4) - 3y = 1. 10y-20-3y=1. 7y-20=1. 7y=21. y =3. x = 2(3)-4. x = 2. x*y =6.
**4/5** is equal to .8, so 4/5 is the answer. to check, multiply .8 x 5 = 4
Answer:
L = 2,
O = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
First using the givens, write out some formulas.
Heavy equipment operators = O
General laborers = L
- O + L = 33
- 138O + 87L = 4044
Now use substitution, it doesn't matter which one you substitute.
- O = -L +33
- 138( -L + 33 ) + 87L = 4044
Distribute and solve for L.
- -138L + 4554 + 87L = 4044
- -138L - 87L = 4044 - 4554
- -225L = -510
- L = -510/-225
- L = 2
L = 2, meaning number of laborers employed is 2.
Now plug 2 = L into one of the original equations.
- O + L = 33
- O + 2 = 33
- O = 33 - 2
- O = 31
O = 31, meaning number of heavy equip. operators employed is 31.
Known :
w = 12 feet
h = 18 feet
V = 3.240 feet³
Asked :
l = ...?
Answer :
V = l × w × h
3240 = l × 12 × 18
3240 = 216 l
l = 3240 ÷ 216
l = <u>1</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>feet</u>
So, the length is 15 feet
