Answer:
The task is explained in detail below.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a dog, a goat, and a bag of tin cans are to be transported across a river in a ferry that can carry only one of these three items at once (along with a ferry driver).
The driver will first transport the goat to the other shore and then return empty. Then they will take a bag of tin and transport it to the other shore, and then they will return with the goat to their original place.
Then he will leave the goat there and take a dog and carry it to the other shore and then return empty.
And eventually they will take the goat and transport it to the other shore.
Properties of equality have nothing to do with it. The associative and commutative properties of multiplication are used (along with the distributive property and the fact of arithmetic: 9 = 10 - 1).
All of these problems make use of the strategy, "look at what you have before you start work."
1. = (4·5)·(-3) = 20·(-3) = -60 . . . . if you know factors of 60, you can do this any way you like. It is convenient to ignore the sign until the final result.
2. = (2.25·4)·23 = 9·23 = 23·10 -23 = 230 -23 = 207 . . . . multiplication by 4 can clear the fraction in 2 1/4, so we choose to do that first. Multiplication by 9 can be done with a subtraction that is often easier than using ×9 facts.
4. = (2·5)·12·(-1) = 10·12·(-1) = (-1)·120 = -120 . . . . multiplying by 10 is about the easiest, so it is convenient to identify the factors of 10 and use them first. Again, it is convenient to ignore the sign until the end.
5. = 0 . . . . when a factor is zero, the product is zero
Probably the subsitution method
y=1/2x
subsitute that fr y
2x+3(1/2x)=28
2x+3/2x=28
times 2 both sides
4x+3x=56
7x=56
divide by 7 both sides
x=8
sub back
y=1/2x
y=1/2(8)
y=4
(x,y)
(8,4)
