For this case we can make the following rule of three:
1/10 scarf ------> 4/5 hour
x ------------------> 1 hour
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (1 / (4/5)) * (1/10)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/4) * (1/10)
x = 5/40
x = 1/8
Answer:
A fraction of a scarf that alison can knit in 1 hour is:
x = 1/8
I don't really know if the question is complete but...
y = x -10 can be a solution
so y would be -7 when x is 3
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Find x and y
In the second equation. Assume that:

Substitute
in the first equation


Collect like terms


Multiply through by 5


Solve for x

Substitute this value of x in 





2p+6a=$14
3p+9a=$21
3p+9a=21
Subtract 9a
3p=21-9a
divide all by 3
p=7-3a
plug it into start equations
2p+6a=14
2(7-3a)+6a=14
14-6a....+6a=14
this zeroes out...
Answer:
The true statement is that the answer will be a fraction.
