The answer is Y = -1/2x + 60
Use the <u>factor pairs</u> of 36. You'll find that he has
9 different ways to arrange them:
<em>1 x 36</em> ... 1 tulip each in 36 vases, or 36 tulips in1 vase
<em>2 x18</em> ... 2 tulips each in 18 vases, or 18 tulips each in 2 vases
<em>3 x 12</em> ... 3 tulips each in 12 vases, or 12 tulips each in 3 vases
<em>4 x 9</em> ... 4 tulips each in 9 vases, or 9 tulips each in 4 vases
<em>6 x 6</em> ... 6 tulips each in 6 vases
Answer:
x = 75 and y = -72
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
1/5 x + 1/8 y = 1 ------(1)
1/2 x − 1/3 y = 1 -------(2)
<u>To find the solutions of the system of equations</u>
Step 1: eq(1) * 5 ⇒
x + 5/8y = 5 ----(3)
Step 2: eq(2) * 2 ⇒
x - 2/3y = 2 -----(4)
Step 3: eq(3) - eq(4) ⇒
x + 5/8y = 5 ----(3)
<u>x - 2/3y = 2 -</u>----(4)
0 +(5/8 - 2/3)y = 3
-1/24 y = 3
y = -24*3 = -72
Step 4: Substitute the value of y in eq(1)
1/5 x + 1/8 y = 1 ------(1)
1/5 x + 1/8 (-72) = 1 ------(1)
1/5 x - 24 = 1
1/5 x = 25
x = 5*25 = 75
Therefor x = 75 and y = -72
1 3/4 is also written as 14/8, and half of that is 7/8. Hope this helps!
60.7 because you add all the sides together
