Answer:

x = 0 , y = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

Add 9 to both sides:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x = 0

Divide both sides by 6:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the first equation:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

Divide both sides by 18:

{y = 7/6

x = 0

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.

A water tank hols 540 galloms but is leaking at a rate of 4 gallons per week a second water tank holds 720 gallons but is leakin

Murrr4er [49]

Let after n week both tanks have same quantity of water .

for first tank
=============
tank hold 540 gallon of water ,
leaking of water 4 gallon /week
so, in n week water leak from the tank =4× n = 4n

now, after n week quantity of water in the tank = 540 -4n

for second tank
==============
quantity of water in the tank =720 gallon
leaking of water at the rate = 7gallon/week
so, after n week water leak from the tank = 7× n =7n

after n week quantity of water rest in the tank = 720 -7n

now ,
according to question ,

water in first tank = water in second tank
540 -4n = 720 -7n

7n -4n = 720 -540

3n = 180

n = 60

hence , after 60 week both tank have same quantity of water.
