(A) In some cases, neither of the two equations in the system will contain a variable with a coefficient of 1, so we must take a

further step to isolate it. Let's say we now have:
3C+4D=5
2C+5D=2
None of these terms has a coefficient of 1. Instead, we'll pick the variable with the smallest coefficient and isolate it. Move the term with the lowest coefficient so that it's alone on one side of its equation, then divide by the coefficient.
(B) Now that you have one of the two variables in Part (A) isolated, use substitution to solve for the two variables. You may want to review the Multiplication and Division of Fractions and Simplifying an Expression Primers..

Answer:

C = 17/7 or 2 3/7

D = -4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

3C+4D=5

2C+5D=2

2C = 2 - 5D

C = 1 - 2.5D

3(1 - 2.5D) + 4D = 5

3 - 7.5D + 4D = 5

-3.5D = 2

D = -4/7

C = 1 - 2.5(-4/7)

C = 1 + 10/7 = 17/7

mridul jogs around a rectangular park of 100m by 80m at the rate of 9km per hour. how much time will he take in jogging 6 rounds
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

14minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find the distance which you must find the perimeter P=100+80+100+80

=360 so you multiple it by 6 to get

=2160meters

so you need to convert the meters to kilometers

which is 1000m =1km

what about 2160m you cross multiply

to get 2.16km.

<em>so</em><em> </em><em>th</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>di</em><em>stance</em><em> </em><em>repre</em><em>sent</em><em> </em><em>D</em><em>=</em><em>2</em><em>.</em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>km</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>an</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>spee</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>represent</em><em> </em><em>S</em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>k</em><em>m</em><em> </em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>now</em><em> </em><em>yo</em><em>u</em><em> </em><em>nee</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>time</em><em> </em><em>represented</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>T</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>T=D/S

T=2.16km/9km/h

so the km cancels each other

<u>you</u><u> </u><u>get</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u><u>4</u><u>h</u><u> </u><u> </u><u>for</u><u> </u><u>thi</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u>n't</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>solu</u><u>tion</u><u> </u>

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><em><u>you</u></em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>now</em><em> </em><em>th</em><em>at</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>hour</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>minut</em><em>es</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>what</em><em> </em><em>about</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>h</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>cr</em><em>oss</em><em> multiply</em>

<em>to</em><em> get</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>4</em><em>.</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>round</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> get</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>minut</em><em>es</em>

There are mangoes and oranges in a basket in the ratio 7: 11. If the total number of fruits is 720, then how many mangoes are th
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

280 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 11 = 18 parts

Divide the total by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

720 ÷ 18 = 40 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

7 × 40 = 280 ← number of mangoes
