3x+y=-5
12x+5y=27
Let y =-5-3x
Insert y into equ.2
12x+5(-5-3x)=27
12x-25-15x=27 den rearrange
-3x=2 den x =-2/3
Den put xinto equ 1
3(-2/3)+y=5
-2+y=5(collect like terms)
Y =7
I believe the answer is the last one
Answer:
0.75 days (im a bit unsure but i tried my best, hope this helps :) )
Step-by-step explanation:
If it takes 8 technicians 36 hours to test 560 samples, find how many technicians can test 525 samples.
8: 560
x: 525
x= 7.5 (which is considered 7)
Then, find how long it takes to sample 525 samples, when 560 are done in 36 hours;
560: 36
525: x
x= 33.75 (which is considered 34 hours)
The last step is to check how long 15 technicians take to sample 525 samples when 8 can do the same number in 34 hours. this is inverse proportion so dont forget to flip one numerator and denominator
8; 34
15; x
it will become
15:34
8: x
x= 18 hours
Divide by 24 for days hence 0.75 days
