The first step for solving this problem is to multiply both sides of the bottom equation by -3.

Add the two equations together.
6x - 9y - 6x + 9y = 16 - 21
Eliminate the opposites.
-9y + 9y = 16 - 21
Remember that the sum of two opposites equals 0,, so the equation becomes the following:
0 = 16 - 21
Calculate the difference on the right side of the equation.
0 = -5
This means that the statement

is false for any value of x and y. That means that the answer to your question is (x,y) ∈ ∅,, or no solution.

The answer is 2 buckets
Explain:
Tim picked 1 7/12 and Fred picked 4 2/3
These as improper fractions are 19/12
And 8/3
To make these have the same denominator you would times the 8/3 by 4 to give 32/12
Take these two away, Fred has 13 more apples.
And as we calculated it with there being 12 in each bucket there would be one full bucket but we would need another bucket for the apple left
So Fred picked 2 more buckets than Tim.
Hoped it makes sense and that I helped
For this case, we have the total of painters is 16, so to determine what percentage is painting the interior of the house, we make a rule of three:
16 ---------------> 100%
4 -----------------> x
Where "x" represents the% of painters who paint the interior of the house.

Thus, 25% of painters are painting the interior of the house.
