What you want to do is take one of the 2 equations and isolate one variable. you will then use the value that you find for the variable and plug it back into the other equation. here is how:

This would be easiest to do with the second equation in the set since the x is not being multiplied by anything. So lets isolate the x in the second equation.

add 0.9y to both sides and you get:

x=4.5+0.9y

we now know what x is equal to in terms of y. so lets replace the x in the first equation with the new value. You get:

1.5(4.5+0.9y)-1.9y=-29

Now just solve for y:
6.75+1.35y-1.9y=-29
1.35y-1.9y=-35.75
-0.55y=-35.75
y=65

so now you know that y=65 so plug 65 in as y in the second equation to find x

x-0.9*65=4.5

Now simply solve for x

x-(-58.5)=4.5
x+58.5=4.5
x=-54

Hope this helped! :)

Can someone please help me factorize this one:<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.01y%20%7B%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20-%20%20%5Cfrac

First let us convert 0.01 into fraction:

\frac{y^{2}}{100}  -\frac{1}{4}

Now we convert 100 and 4 into perfect squares as follows:

(\frac{y}{10})^{2}-(\frac{1}{2})^{2}

Now we use the property of :

x^{2} -y^{2} =(x+y)(x-y)

(\frac{y}{10} +\frac{1}{2} ) (\frac{y}{10} -\frac{1}{2} )

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

length = 8ft
height = 4 in
width = w ft --> u looking for this

convert in to ft for the height:

4 in (1 ft / 12 in) = 1/3 ft

You know that:
1 cubic yard = $ 98
? cubic yard = $58.07

Solve for ? cubic yard:
? cubic yard = 58.07/98 = 0.592551

convert this in cubic feet:
1 yard = 3 feet
0.59255 cubic yard (27 cubic ft/1 cubic yard) = 15.99887755 cubic ft

Now solve for the width:
length x width x height = ? cubic ft.
width = ? cubic ft / (length x height) =15.99887755 cubic ft/[(8ft)(1/3 ft )] = 5.999579082 ft

approx 6 ft
