Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9

Kenzie makes quilts from blue and purple pieces of fabric. The diagram shows the ratio of blue pieces to
REY [17]

The purple pieces are 35 and total pieces is 32 if the Kenzie makes quilts from blue and purple pieces of fabric.

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the picture.

Total number of pieces = 3+5 = 8

So, the purple pieces = 5(5/8) = 35

Total pieces = 20/(5/8) = 4×8 = 32

Thus, the purple pieces are 35 and total pieces is 32 if the Kenzie makes quilts from blue and purple pieces of fabric.
