Are u a motivational speaker??
Thts a nice quote. i dont get wht ur q is
12x - 8y = -12
6x + 4y = -30
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:
6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60
Now add the two equations:
12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60
= 24x = -72
Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:
x = -72/24
x = -3
Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:
12(-3) - 8y = -12
-36 - 8y = -12
Add 36 to each side:
-8y = 24
Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:
y = 24 / -8
y = -3
X = -3 and y = -3
(-3,-3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Martha has 8 cubic feet of putting soil in the 3 flowerpots. She wants to put the same amount of soil in each pot.
To find the amount of soil in each pot, we need to divide total soil (8 cubic feet) by number of pots (3) as shown below:
Therefore, Martha needs to put approximately 2.67 cubic feet of soil in each flower pot.
