<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The total amount of water wasted this year is 6716 gallons.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
A study indicated that the citizens of Morris-town wasted 5840 gallons of water last year.
This year they wasted 15% more than that amount they wasted previous year.
15% of 5840 is,
The total amount of water wasted this year =
The amount of water wasted previous year + 15% more of the amount of that
= 5840 + 876
= 6716 gallons
Therefore, the total amount of water wasted this year is 6716 gallons
Answer:
3x - y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
This will be the same equation written in a different way'
The original equation is:
y = 3x - 1
0 = 3x - y - 1
3x - y = 1.
4.75 = 4 75/100 =
= 475/100 = ( we can divide numerator and denominator by 25 ) = 19/4
Answer:
4.75 as an improper fraction in simplest form is 19/4.
5x-3y=16
3x-5y=-4
Multiply the first equation by 3; the second one by 5
15x-9y=48
15x-25y=-20
Eq 1 - Eq 2:
-9y+25y=48+20=68
16y=68
4y=17
y=17/4
5x-3y=16
5x-3×17/4=16
5x=16+51/4=(64+51)/4=115/4
x=115/4/5=23/4
x=23/4
