The weight of 10 identical samples of a substance is 0.01 pound. what is the weight of 10000 samples?

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is 10 pounds.

I set up a proportion of 10 / 0.01 = 10000 / x.

Cross-multiply to get 10x = 10000(0.01). Simplify to get 10x = 100. Divide by 10 to isolate the variable.

x = 10. 10000 samples would weigh 10 pounds.

Solve the equations using the substitution method:<br> 4x -2y =22<br> 2x + 4y = 6

Ugo [173]

We have that
<span>4x -2y =22------> clear variable y
2y=4x-22--------> y=4x/2-22/2---------> y=2x-11-----> equation 1
2x + 4y = 6------> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
2x+4*[2x-11]=6-----> 2x+8x-44=6----> 10x=50------> x=5
then
y=2x-11----> y=2*5-11----> y=-1
