Answer:

x=0

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations with two unknowns can be solved. Use the three steps given below.

In general you can save time if you use the simplest expression for step 1. You can choose either expression to start with x =.. or you can rewrite it, so it starts with y =...

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Rewrite the first expression so it starts with y =...

2. Then use that expression and substitute it in the other expression, to find the value for x.

3. Use that value found in step 2. and substitute it in the rewritten expssion you created in step 1. Solve this last expression and you'll get the value for y.

Step 1.

-6y + 11x = -36

-6y = -11x -36

multiply left and right of the = sign by -1

6y = 11x + 36

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

y = 11x/6 + 36/6

y = 11/6x + 6

Step 2.

-4 * ( y ) + 7x = -24

-4 * ( 11/6x + 6 ) + 7x = -24

( -44/6x - 24 ) + 7x = -24

-44/6x + 7x = -24 + 24

You can see immediately that ...x = 0

Just for fun of it ....

-44/6x + 42/6x = 24 - 24

(-44+42)/6x = 0

-2/6x = 0

-1/3x = 0

multiply left and right of the = sign by -3

3/3x = 0 * -3

x = 0

Step 3.

y = 11/6( x ) + 6. and substitute x = 0 gives:

y = 11/6( 0) + 6

y = 0 + 6

y = 6

Answer:

x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Postulate of intersecting chords inside a circle.

$x \times 5 = 3 \times 6 \\ 5x = 18 \\ x = \frac{18}{5} \\ x = 3.6 \\$

Mrs. Cleaver mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She pours the paint equally in

otez555 [7]

The amount of blue paint in each container is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,

${3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}$

Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

$\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}$

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}$

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ .

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ and the amount of paint in a container is $0.992 \text{ liters}$ then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}$

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}$ .

Solve for X: 3-2(x-1)=x-10

lyudmila [28]

$3-2(x-1)=x-10 \\\\ 3-2x+2=x-10 \\\\ -2x+5=x-10 \\\\ -2x-x=-10-5 \\\\ -3x=-15 \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{-15}{-3}=5}$
