Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.
-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)
-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36
-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.
28y=-56
divide by 28 on both sides.
Y= -2
Then substitute y into one of the equations.
x+6(-2)=-6
x-12=-6
x=6
The ordered pair is (6,-2).
Answer:
30y+14
Step-by-step explanation:
add the values of all the sides together: (5y+4) + (5y+4) + (10y+3) + (10y+3) = (5y + 5y + 10y + 10y) + (4 + 4 + 3 + 3)= 30y + 14
Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.
