Answer:
x = 6, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
24/4 = 6
x = 6
= (5x6)+8y=14
= 8y = 14 -30
8y = -16
y = -16/8
y = -2
Check: 5x6+8x-2= 14
Multiply the $75 by 1.125 which represents the total amount of interest AND the orgininal amount

Answer:
80 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 16 ounces in a pound. So to convert from pounds to ounces, you multiply 5 by 16, which is 80.
First you should combine n/6-5n/12
that goes to 2n/12-5n/12 which equals -3n/12
then you should cross multiply -3n/12 by 1/16
12(1)=-3n(16)
12=-48n then solve for n by dividing by -48
-12/48=n simplify -1/4=n or -.25=n
