Answer:

L = 2,

O = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

First using the givens, write out some formulas.

Heavy equipment operators = O

General laborers = L

  • O + L = 33
  • 138O + 87L = 4044

Now use substitution, it doesn't matter which one you substitute.

  • O = -L +33
  • 138( -L + 33 ) + 87L = 4044

Distribute and solve for L.

  • -138L + 4554 + 87L = 4044
  • -138L - 87L = 4044 - 4554
  • -225L = -510
  • L = -510/-225
  • L = 2

L = 2, meaning number of laborers employed is 2.

Now plug 2 = L into one of the original equations.

  • O + L = 33
  • O + 2 = 33
  • O = 33 - 2
  • O = 31

O = 31, meaning number of heavy equip. operators employed is 31.

Inga [223]

Step-by-step explanation:

27x² = 3*3*3*x*x

45x³y² = 3*3*5*x*x*x*y*y

Now

GCF = 3 * 3 *x * x = 9x²

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

(5,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLVE BY SUBSTITUTION:

STEP 1: Replace all occurrences of y with -3x+11 in each equation.

-3x+22=7\\y=-3x+11

STEP 2: Solve for x in the first equation.

x=5\\y=-3x+11

STEP 3: Replace all occurrences of x with 5 in each equation.

y=-4\\x=5
