The solution is x=1 and y=-2

Further explanation:

Given equations are:

$\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}y=\frac{9}{2}\\3x-y=5$

Multiplying equation no. 1 with 2 will give us:

$7x-y=9$ Eqn 3

From equation no 2:

$3x-y=5\\-y=5-3x\\y=3x-5$

Putting the value of y in eqn 3

$7x-(3x-5)=9\\7x-3x+5=9\\4x=9-5\\4x=4\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{4}{4}\\x=1\\Putting\ x=1\ in\ equation\ 2\\3(1)-y=5\\3-y=5\\-y=5-3\\-y=2\\y=-2\\$

The solution is x=1 and y=-2

three bags of sweets weigh 27/4 kg. two of them have the same weight and the third bag is heavier than each of the bags of equal

Nana76 [90]

I'm here buddy,

so, let's take the value of the two bags with equal weight as x.

= x + x + (x + $\frac{6}{5}$ ) = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x = $\frac{27}{4}$ - $\frac{6}{5}$

( let's take the LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

= 3x = $\frac{135}{20}$ - $\frac{24}{20}$

= 3x = $\frac{111}{20}$

= x = $\frac{111}{20}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{111}{20}$ × $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$

So, the weight of the equal bags are $\frac{37}{20}$ and the weight of the third bag ( heavy one ) is $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{24}{20}$ = $\frac{61}{20}$

1st bag = $\frac{37}{20}$ kg

2nd bag = $\frac{37}{20}$ kg

3rd bag = $\frac{61}{20}$ kg

Hope it helps...

AIZA AND GLAIZA came 60% of the 25 students that is 15th position

A) therefore students which came below them were= 10

B) Students who has scored greater than them were=> 15-2=13 (as they niether got less than 12 nor more than 12.)
