Answer:

x=-4/9, y=10/3. (-4/9, 10/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=12

3x=2y-8

--------------

2y-8+4y=12

6y-8=12

6y=12+8

6y=20

y=20/6

simplify,

y=10/3

3x=2(10/3)-8

3x=20/3-8

3x=20/3-24/3

3x=-4/3

x=(-4/3)/3

x=(-4/3)(1/3)=-4/9

x=-4/9, y=10/3. (-4/9, 10/3).

Sahil is putting together supply kits and has 36 packs of x pencils, 12 packs of y crayons, and 24 erasers.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. use what's given in the question to write an equation

36x + 12y + 24e (using e as the variable for erasers)

b. 12 is the greatest common factor between the coefficients/ constant so factor it out

12 (3x + y + 2e)

12 kits

c. use the factored expression to see how many of each item

3x - 3 pencils

y - 1 crayon

2e - 2 erasers

What is the answer to. 4x + 7<8
sukhopar [10]
First, subtract 7 on both sides. Now, you have 4x<1. Divide by 4 on both sides. Finally, you get x<1/4 (a quarter or said as one-fourth). So, x<1/4.
