Answer:
x=-3, y=-6. (-3, -6).
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x+y=6
-5x-y=21
--------------
-9x=27
x=27/-9
x=-3
-5(-3)-y=21
15-y=21
y=15-21
y=-6
Answer:
165.2
Step-by-step explanation:
7%x4=28
28 percent of 590 = <u>165.2</u>
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start by "filling up" all of the bigger boxes. 75*14=1050 cupcakes, which when subtracted from the total initial amount leaves 400 cupcakes for the smaller boxes. The smallest multiple of 13 smaller than 400 is 390, which is 10 smaller than 400. Therefore, there will be 10 cupcakes left over, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!
Set equations for both containers:
Condition one: $y=2x$
Condition two: $(y-3)=4.5(x-2)$
plug in $y$ from condition one into the second equation:
$2x-3=4.5x-9$
simplify gives: $2.5x=6$
$\boxed{x=2.4}$
$\boxed{y=4.8}$
