Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - $\frac{1}{5}$ - $\frac{2}{9}$ x = $\frac{124}{5}$ ( add $\frac{1}{5}$ to both sides

3x - $\frac{2}{9}$ x = $\frac{124}{5}$ + $\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{125}{5}$ = 25 ← combine x- terms on left side

$\frac{25}{9}$ x = 25 ( multiply both sides by 9 )

25x = 225 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 9

Karins mom runs a dairy farm. Last year Betty the cow gave 375 gallons less than twice the amount from Bessie the cow. Together,

yawa3891 [41]

X = bessie and y = betty

x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375

x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons

y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons
