Answer:

x = 17     y= -38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -21

y = x - 55

It doesn't matter whether x or y is 55 less than the other right now.

<u>substitute for y:</u>

x + x - 55 = -21

<u>solve for x:</u>

2x = 34

x = 17

<u>solve for y:</u>

17 + y = -21

y = -38

if an area can be washed at a rate of 4,900 cm2/ minute, how many square inches can be washed per hour?
Olenka [21]

Answer : 4.5 × 10⁴ square inches can be washed per hour.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that an area can be washed at a rate of 4,900 cm²/min. Now we have to determine the square inches can be washed per hour.

Given conversions are:

1 cm = 0.39 in    and    1 hr = 60 min

As, 1 cm² = (0.39)² in²    and    1 min = 1/60 hr

So, 1cm^2/min=(0.39)^2\times 60in^2/hr

1cm^2/min=9.126in^2/hr

Now we have to determine the square inches can be washed per hour.

As, 1cm^2/min=9.126in^2/hr

So, 4900cm^2/min=\frac{4900cm^2/min}{1cm^2/min}\times 9.126in^2/hr=44717.4in^2/hr=4.5\times 10^4in^2/hr

Therefore, 4.5 × 10⁴ square inches can be washed per hour.
