Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you sure you wanted that "b" in the second equation?

If so, here's how we eliminate y:

1) Multiply the first equation by b:  8bx + 3by = 2b

2) Multiply the second equation by 3:  12x - 3by = -21

3) Combine these two results.  We get:

(8b + 12)x = 2b - 21

Here we have eliminated  y, but still have an equation in two variables, b and x.

Hannah has a grid of squares that had 12 rows with 15 squares in each row. She colors 5 rows of 8 squares in the middle of the g
arlik [135]

there's a grid of squares with 12 rows and in each row there are 15 squares

from this grid she colours 8 squares from each row for 5 rows blue.

the rest of the squares she colours red


so first we have to find how many squares are there in the grid in total

so if each row has 15 squares

then 12 rows have - 15 x 12 = 180 squares


blue coloured squares

she colours 8 rows of 5 squares

so if 1 row has - 5 squares

then 8 rows have - 5 x 8 = 40 squares


from 180 squares, she colours 40 squares blue and the rest red colour

therefore the squares she colours red are

red squares = 180 - 40 = 140 squares

she colours 140 squares red
