Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
12.9 + 10.2x = 35.1
10.2x = 35.1 - 12.9
10.2x = 22.2
x = 22.2/10.2
x= 222/102 = 111/51
Answer:
The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be and
the masses of a cylinder and a prism, measured in ounces, respectively. After a careful reading of the statement we get the following linear equations by interpretation:
i) <em>She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces:</em>
(Eq. 1)
ii) <em>And that 1 cylinder and 8 prisms weigh 35 ounces:</em>
(Eq. 2)
Now we solve the system of linear equations algebraically:
From (Eq. 2):
(Eq. 2) is (Eq. 1):
From (Eq. 2):
The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.
