Sally paints at a rate of 1/7th room / hour

Steve paints at a rate of 1/6th room / hour

If they both painted together, they would paint 1/7 + 1/6 = 13/42 room/hour

so to paint the whole room, it would take 1/(13/42) = 42/13 =
<u>
3.23 hours (3 significant figures)</u>

Solve the system. <br> x+3y=1 <br> -2x+7=-23
Viefleur [7K]
X+ 3y = 1  -----(first equation)
-2x+7 = -23 ---(second equation)
-2x = -23-7
x = 30/2
x = 15

Now, Substitute the value of x in first equation,
15 + 3y = 1
3y = 1 - 15
y = -14/3

In short, Final Answers are: x = 15 & y = -14/3

Hope this helps!
