Answer:

x = 10 / 7 (or) 1.43 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

y = - 54 / 7 (or) -7.71 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way to rewrite (5x-3y, 3x-y) = (16, 12),

5x - 3y = 16 -- (1)

3x - y = 12 -- (2)

Rewriting (1), y = -5/3x - 16/3 -- (1)'

Substituting (1)' into (2),

3x + 5/3x + 16/3 = 12

14/3x = 20/3

x = 10 / 7 -- (3)

Substituting (3) into (2),

3(10/7) - y = 12

30/7 - y = 12

-y = 54 / 7

y = - 54/7-- (4)

Therefore,

x = 10 / 7 (or) 1.43 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

y = - 54 / 7 (or) -7.71 <rounded to 2 decimal place>

People use water to cook, clean, and drink every day. An estimate of 15.5% of the water used each
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

260 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate of 26.5​% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning​,

Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%

Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9

Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:

26.5% of g = 68.9

26.5/100 × g = 68.9

0.265 × g = 68.9

0.265g = 68.9

Divide both side by 0.265

0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265

g= 260

260 gallons of water are used everyday
