</span>Add (-18)/5 to both sides

<span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>=<span>‌<span>2/<span>5

divide both sides by 6/5

y = 1/3

substitute 1/3 for y in x = -2/5y +6/5 to solve for x

x = -2/5(1/3) +6/5

x = 16/15

so x = 16/15 and y = 1/3
 now replace both x and Y in each of the original equations to check the answers:

5(16/15) +2(1/3) =  5 1/3 + 2/3 = 6  true

3(16/15) - -12/5(1/3) = 4 true
 so they are parallel

Hello there are 4 questions in this it will look like a lot but it is not and you don't have to answer all of it just look at th
alex41 [277]

Answer:

First one: x = 3, and y = 2

Second: 5

Third: Yes because he will have $37.50

Fourth: The numbers 2.5 and 3 will make it true

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4(3) + 2(2) + 3 = 12 + 4 + 3 = 19

2. 4x + 2 = 22, 4x = 20, x = 5

3. 2.25y + 7.25z + 11.25, 2.25(2) + 7.25(3) + 11.25 = 4.5 + 21.75 + 11.25 = 37.5

He will get $37.50, which is enough.

4. The numbers 2.5 and 3 will make it true: 2(2.5) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8, 2(3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9, the numbers below it won't make it true.

Maria estimates college tuition and fees, room and board, books, and other charges total $10,100. She will receive a scholarship
garri49 [273]
Maria needs to save $187.50 per month in order to attend college. 

First, subtract the $1,100 scholarship from the cost of college, or $10,100, to get $9,000. This is the amount that she needs to save after 4 years. Next, since she is saving monthly, we need to know how many monthly periods are in 4 years, so multiply 12 months/year by 4 years to get 48 monthly periods. Finally, divide the total amount needed ($9,000) by the monthly periods (48) to get $187.50. This answer would change if she earned any interest on her savings, and depending on the compounding period, if any, for such interest.

Plz help me with this
forsale [732]

Answer:

\frac{31x}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

Before adding we require the fractions to have a common denominator

The lowest common denominator of 2, 5 and 3 is 30, thus

\frac{15x}{15(2)} + \frac{6x}{6(5)} + \frac{10x}{10(3)}

= \frac{15x}{30} + \frac{6x}{30} + \frac{10x}{30}

Add the numerators leaving the denominator

= \frac{15x+6x+10x}{30} = \frac{31x}{30}
