Answer
x=-2 and y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step: Solvey=5x+7for y:
Step: Substitute5x+7 for y in 3x+y=−9:
3x+y=−9
3x+5x+7=−9
8x+7=−9(Simplify both sides of the equation)
8x+7+−7=−9+−7(Add -7 to both sides)
8x=−16
8x/8=−16/8
(Divide both sides by 8)
x=−2
Step: Substitute−2 for x in y=5x+7:
y=5x+7
y=(5)(−2)+7
y=−3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
10%*X=20
X=20/(10%)
X=20/0.1
X=200
23%*200=46
Answer:
Amount of paint to be bought = 10 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of paint needed by Mrs. Sullivan to paint her house = 12 gallons
She is already having paint = 8 quarts
Since, 1 quart = 0.25 gallons
Therefore, 8 quarts = 8 × 0.25
= 2 gallons
So, amount of paint she is already having = 2 gallons
Amount of paint to be bought = 12 - 2
= 10 gallons
