Answer:

x = -30

y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 12y = 210..... (I)

x - 6y = 90..... (II)

Subtract equation (II) from (I)

- 12y - (-6y) = 210 - 90

-12y + 6y = 120

-6y = 120

Divide through by -6y

Therefore, y = -20

Substitute y = -20 in equation (II)

x -6 (-20) = 90

x + 120 = 90

x = 90 - 120

x = -30

Hope that helped

Mary Stevens earns $6 an hour at her job and is entitled to time-and-a-half for overtime,and double time on holidays. last week

Kay [80]

You can make an equation with the information given: Earnings = 6 * r + (1.5*6)o + (6*2) h = 6r + 9o + 12h. Where r is the number of regular hours worked, o is the number of overtime hours and h is the number of holiday hours. Now r = 40, o = 6.5, and h = 8. So, Earnings = 6(40) + 9(6.5) + 12(8) = 39405. Answer: $394.5

All of the ingredients are purchased in bulk sizes. The butter comes in 12-cup containers. How many recipes will each container

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

some information is missing, so I looked for similar questions and found the attached image:

since each recipe requires ¹/₂ cup of butter, you are able to make 12 ÷ ¹/₂ = 24 recipes with one container of butter (assuming you have all the other ingredients).

One-half, ¹/₂, is a fraction that can also be written in decimal form as 0.5. Two times ¹/₂ is equal to 1, and similarly, twenty four times ¹/₂ is equal to 12.
