Answer:
9 2/5 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Both melon and berries are "fruits."
The total weight of the fruit used is thus 1 lb + 8 2/5 lb, or 9 2/5 lb.
Answer:
x=-4 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by substitution.
−3x−8y=20;y=5x+19
Rewrite equations:
y=5x+19;−3x−8y=20
Step: Solve y=5x+19for y:
y=5x+19
Step: Substitute5x+19foryin−3x−8y=20:
−3x−8y=20
−3x−8(5x+19)=20
−43x−152=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−43x−152+152=20+152(Add 152 to both sides)
−43x=172
−43x
−43
=
172
−43
(Divide both sides by -43)
x=−4
Step: Substitute−4forxiny=5x+19:
y=5x+19
y=(5)(−4)+19
y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−4 and y=−1
Hi there!
Sometimes, like you said, you might don't get the exact answer when you justified your answer. In this case, you need to take the nearest number. So if you got 11 then 12 is the nearest number, just go for it.
Or go back and start over and see if you didn't miss anything.
I hope this helps!
