1. Rewrite the system:
x+12y=68 (i)
x=8y-12 (ii)
2. Let's substitute the equation (ii) into the equation (i):
x+12y=68
(8y-12)+12y=68
3. Then, you have:
8y-12+12y=68
4. When you clear "y", you have:
20y-12=68
20y=68+12
20y=80
y=80/20
y=4
5. You already have the value of "y". Now, you must substitute this value into the equation (ii):
x=8y-12
x=8(4)-12
x=32-12
x=20
6. Therefore, the result is:
x=20
y=4

Volume of a Prism Formula: V = lwh
- <em>l</em> is length
- <em>w</em> is width
- <em>h</em> is height
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
<em>l</em> = 13.8 cm
<em>w</em> = 4.5 cm
<em>h</em> = 5 cm
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>V</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Volume of a Prism Formula]: V = (13.8 cm)(4.5 cm)(5 cm)
- Multiply: V = (62.1 cm²)(5 cm)
- Multiply: V = 310.5 cm³
Answer: Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds of fish.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio is 8 to 2 then 8/10 will be the probability of Mike buying fist and 2/10 will be the probability of Millie buying fish.
Now multiply each fraction by the total number of pounds to find how many pounds each bought.
8/10 * 150 = 1200/10 = 120
2/10 * 150 = 300/10 = 30
In this case, Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds of fish.
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4
