There are 42 kids in one classroom. They are all divided into 3 groups. How many kids will be in each group?
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2y=-11
2x+2y=5
so you find values that match or can multiply by something to match-2
5x+2y=-11
- 2x+2y=5
=3x+0y=-16
3x/3=-16/3
x=5 1/3
then substitute x in one of the equations to get y
y varies inversely with x.
Example:
If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.
So,
If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32
Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.
16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4
So we can say that:
If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.
The answer is x=3 i believe
Your answer to the question:
-12 4/5
And then decimal form:
-12.8
