Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.
it does not matter which variable you choose.
lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.
so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.
2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6
(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)
4x+6y=12
now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6
-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)
-15x-6y=-12
now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out
4x+6y=12
-15x-6y=-12
-11x=0
x=0
now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.
2(0)+3y=6
3y=6
y=2
so your answer is x=0, y=2
You would do 2 divided by 9 to get that each person would have 2/9 of a gallon or .22 of a gallon. I hope this helps.
If we want to has 100 in the denominator we have to divide numerator and denominator by 2. Then total value of fraction doesnt change.
Now read the fraction, its 23 hundreds, now just write as decimal, so,
0.23
You probably are interested in expressing the given equation as a quadratic equation in u, as it will make it easy to find the solutions.
Let u = x²
So,
u² = x⁴
So, the given equation can be written as:
u² - 17u + 16 = 0
Now the equation is quadratic in u and the solutions can be calculated using quadratic formula or factorization.
Let the cost of renting a chair be x and for renting a table be y than 5x + 3y = 31 and 2x + 6y = 52 2x+ 6y = 52 can be further simplified to x + 3y = 26 now try solving for x and y... best of luck:D
