If this is a system of equations then:
Multiply 5x-y=3 by -2
=> -10x+2y=-6
Now you sum the equations:
10x-10x+7y+2y=-3-6
=> 9y=-9
Then just divide by 9: y=-1
Now to get x, choose one of the equations and use the value we got from y:
5x-(-1)=3 => 5x+1=3 => 5x=3-1
=> 5x=2
=> x=2/5
(x,y)=(2/5, -1)
Answer:
The volume of the cart will be 24 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we need to calculate for this question is the number of boxes that fill the entire cart.
A layer of boxes consists of 8 boxes.
The cart holds a maximum of 3 layers of boxes.
So, the total number of boxes held by the cart are:
Total boxes = number of layers * boxes per layer
Total boxes = 3 * 8
Total boxes = 24
Since each box has a volume of one cubic foot, the total volume of the cart will be:
Volume of cart = number of boxes * volume of each box
Volume of cart = 24 * 1
Volume of cart = 24 ft^3
Answer: 290 cubic meters
Step-by-step explanation: First, find the volume of each figure. 3 x 6 x 5 = 90, and 5 x 5 x 8 = 200. 90 + 200 = 290
Answer:
The apricots are less expensive per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2
Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98
So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99
Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3
Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25
So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.
To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.
