Hi <span>Cassiewilliams1!
If the baker decorates 42 cupcakes in 30 minutes and you have to find a minute you have to divide 42 by 30 to find your answer which is 1.4 cupcakes a minute.
Hope this helps!</span>
4x+15y=13 (1)
3x+5y=16 (2)
(2) * 3 --> 9x+15y=48 becomes (3)
(3) - (1)
5x=35
x=7
sub x =7 into (1)
4(7)+15y=13
28+15y=13
-28 -28
15y= -15
y= -15/15
y= -1
therefore x=7 and y= -1
Answer:
x=3 and y=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by 4,and multiply the second equation by 3.
4(2x−3y=12)
3(3x+4y=1)
Becomes:
8x−12y=48
9x+12y=3
Add these equations to eliminate y:
17x=51
Then solve17x=51for x:
17x=51
17x
17
=
51
17
(Divide both sides by 17)
x=3
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
2x−3y=12
Substitute3forxin2x−3y=12:
(2)(3)−3y=12
−3y+6=12(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−3y+6+−6=12+−6(Add -6 to both sides)
−3y=6
−3y
−3
=
6
−3
(Divide both sides by -3)
y=−2
The answer is 110
Hope this helps :)
