Answer:

7.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sand to cement = 24kg : 5kg

Today he needs to make the same type of mortar mix, but he will use 36kg of sand.

Let

x = quantity of cement used

Ratio of sand to cement = 36 kg : x kg

Equate both ratios

24 kg : 5 kg = 36 kg : x kg

24/5 = 36/x

Cross product

24 * x = 5 * 36

24x = 180

x = 180/24

x = 7.5

x = quantity of cement used = 7.5 kg

Answer:

(arranged from top to bottom)

System #3, where x=6

System #1, where x=4

System #7, where x=3

System #5, where x=2

System #2, where x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

System #1: x=4

2x+y=10\\x-3y=-2

To solve, start by isolating your first equation for y.

2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10

Now, plug this value of y into your second equation.

x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\x+6x-30=-2\\7x=28\\x=4

System #2: x=1

x+2y=5\\2x+y=4

Isolate your second equation for y.

2x+y=4\\y=-2x+4

Plug this value of y into your first equation.

x+2(-2x+4)=5\\x+(-4x)+8=5\\x-4x+8=5\\-3x=-3\\x=1

System #3: x=6

5x+y=33\\x=18-4y

Isolate your first equation for y.

5x+y=33\\y=-5x+33

Plug this value of y into your second equation.

x=18-4(-5x+33)\\x=18+20x-132\\-19x=-114\\x=6

System #4: all real numbers (not included in your diagram)

y=13-2x\\8x+4y=52

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

8x+4(13-2x)=52\\8x+52-8x=52\\0=0

<em>all real numbers are solutions</em>

System #5: x=2

x+3y=5\\6x-y=11

Isolate your second equation for y.

6x-y=11\\-y=-6x+11\\y=6x-11

Plug in your value of y to your first equation.

x+3(6x-11)=5\\x+18x-33=5\\19x=38\\x=2

System #6: no solution (not included in your diagram)

2x+y=10\\-6x-3y=-2

Isolate your first equation for y.

2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

-6x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\-6x+6x-30=-2\\-30=-2

<em>no solution</em>

System #7: x=3

y=10+x\\2x+3y=45

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

2x+3(10+x)=45\\2x+30+3x=45\\5x=15\\x=3
