Ok so first we find the equation that equals one variable.
2y = -x + 9
3x - 6y = -15
We solve for y.
2y = -x + 9
y = -x/2 + 9/2
Then we plug in this y value into the other equation to keep only one variable so we can solve for it.
3x - 6y = -15
3(-x + 9/2) - 6y = -15
-3x + 27/2 - 6y = -15
-9y + 27/2 = -15
-9y = 3/2
-y = 3/18
y = -3/18
Then we plug in this numerical y-value into the first equation which we found out by solving an equation for y.
y = -x/2 + 9/2
-3/18 = -x/2 + 9/2
-84/18 = -x/2
-x = 9 1/3
x = -28/3
Your answer would be (-28/3, -3/18)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: We have to add how much time it took him to do all of his homework. To do this, we have to add 2/3 and 3/5.
First, we have to find a LCM between 3 and 5.
The LCM between those numbers are 15.
Next we find out what number to multiply 3 by to get 15, we multiply it by 5.
2 * 5 = 10
3 * 5 = 15
Next we find out what number to multiply 5 by to get 15, we multiply it by 3.
3 * 3 = 9
5 * 3 = 15
10/15+9/15=19/15
We are left off with 1 4/15
So it took him 1 hour and 4/15 minutes to do his homework.
Answer:
the savings is 6000
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the ratio of savings to expenditure is 2: 8, that is, that person saves 2 when he spends 8.
They tell us to find the savings when the cost is 24,000, so we are left with:
24000 * 2/8 = 6000
which means that when 24000 are spent the savings is 6000
