Answer:
x = 2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/3)/(1/8) = 2 2/3
Assume that the budget is n.
Now we are given that 120% of the budget is equal to $60.
This means that:
60 = 1.2n
Solve the equation for n to know the budget:
60 = 1.2n
n = 60 / 1.2 = 50
Based on the above calculations, Jada's budget is 50$
4x + 5y = -13
2(4x + 5y) = 2(-13)
8x + 10y = -26 (equation 1)
5x - 2y = -8
5(5x - 2y) = 5(-8)
25x - 10y = -40 (equation 2)
equation 1 + equation 2,
(8x + 10y) + (25x - 10y) = (-26) + (-40)
8x + 10y + 25x - 10y = -26 + -40
33x = -66
x = -2
substitute x = -2 into equation 1,
8x + 10y = -26
8(-2) + 10y = -26
-16 + 10y = -26
10y = -10
y = -1
The values of x and y are -2 and -1 respectively.
