Completing with what was found:
<em> 1) Here is a summary of the scenario your classmate presented for the talent show:Main show The main show will last two hours and will include twelve individual acts and six group acts.Final show The final show will last 30 minutes and will include the top four individual acts and the top group act.The equations he came up with are: 12x+ 6y= 120, 4x+ y= 30</em>
1. What do x and y represent in this situation?
X stands for individual acts and y, group acts.
Besides that, In the system of equation, they represent the time for x, and the time for y.
2. Do you agree that your classmate set up the equations correctly? Explain why or why not.
Yes, that's right. Each scenario describes a different period in minutes, but each one respecting their different amounts (individual and group acts). Either for 120 minutes or 30 minutes length. And their sum totalizing the whole period.
3. Solving the system by Elimination

Answer: HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 1
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2y = -3, then x = 2y - 3
2x + y = -1
substitute for x:
2(2y - 3) + y = -1
4y - 6 + y = -1
5y = 5
y = 1
x = 2 - 3 = -1
Answer:
10 books approx
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
Given data
Hight of cupboard= 1.21m
Thickness of book= 12.5cm
thickness in meters= 12.5/100= 0.125m
Required
The number of books need to fill the Cupboard
Step two:
the number of books can be computed as
= 1.21/0.125
=9.68 book
=10 books approx
Total time spent reading is = 8/9 hour
He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news. That is = 1/4 * 8/9 = 2/9 hour
Splits the remaining time equally. Remaining time = 8/9 - 2/9 = 6/9
Splitting it equally = 6/9 divided by 2 = 6/9 * 1/2 = 3/9 = 1/3
Time spent reading comic is = 1/3 hour
I hope this helps.
