Answer:

The number of students voted in the election = 510 students

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

2/15 of the students voted for Omar,

3/5 voted for scott, we get 3/5 = 9/15

and the remainder voted for lindsey.

68 students voted for Omar

<u>To find the total students</u>

68 students voted for Omar and 2/15 of the students voted for Omar,

Let x be the total students,

2x/15 = 68

x = 510

Total students = 510

A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

5 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?

Let us represent:

Number of pigs = x

Number of ducks = y

Our system of equations is given as:

A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.

x + y = 16...... Equation 1

x = 16 - y

Altogether there are 42 legs.

Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,

4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2

We substitute

16 - y for x in Equation 2

Hence:

4(16 - y) + 2y = 42

64 - 4y + 2y = 42

Collect like terms

- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64

-2y =- 22

y = -22/-2

y = 11 ducks

Solving for x.

x = 16 - y

x = 16 - 11

x = 5 pigs

Therefore, we have 5 pigs

Solve the system by elimination. − 2 x + 2 y + 3 z = 0 − 2 x − y + z = − 3 2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5
taurus [48]

Answer:

x=1, y=1, z=0

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-2x+2y+3z=0 ----> equation A

-2x-y+z=-3  -----> equation B

2x+3y+3z=5 ----> equation C  

adds equation A and equation C

-2x+2y+3z=0\\2x+3y+3z=5\\-------\\2y+3y+3z+3z=0+5

5y+6z=5 -----> equation D

adds equation B and equation C

-2x-y+z=-3\\2x+3y+3z=5\\--------\\-y+3y+z+3z=-3+5

2y+4z=2 -----> equation E

we have the system

5y+6z=5 -----> equation D

2y+4z=2 -----> equation E

Multiply equation E by -1.5 both sides

-1.5(2y+4z)=-1.5(2)

-3y-6z=-3 -----> equation F

adds equation D and equation F

5y+6z=5\\-3y-6z=-3\\---------\\5y-3y=5-3\\2y=2\\y=1

<em>Find the value of z</em>

substitute the value of y in equation E (or substitute in equation D)

2(1)+4z=2

2+4z=2

4z=0

z=0

<em>Find the value of x</em>

substitute the value of y and z in equation A (or equation B or C)

-2x+2(1)+3(0)=0

-2x+2=0

-2x=-2

x=1

therefore

The solution of the system of equations is

x=1, y=1, z=0
