Answer: Answer is x = 5, y = -3
(5, -3)
Step-by-step explanation: The instruction is to use the substitution method, and from the first equation,
y = x - 8
This means we replace the value of y in the second equation with x - 8. Hence;
2x + 3y = 1 can now be re-written as
2x + 3(x - 8) = 1
2x + 3x - 24) = 1
5x - 24 = 1
Add 24 to both sides of the equation
5x -24 + 24 = 1 + 24
5x = 25
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
x = 5
Having calculated x as 5, we can now substitute for the value of x in the first equation
y = x - 8 now becomes
y = 5 -8
y = -3
15 / 330 = 20 / x...15 gal. to 330 miles = 20 gal to x miles
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(15)(x) = (20)(330)
15x = 6600
x = 6600/15
x = 440 <=== 20 gallons will take u 440 miles
Answer: 500 tiles
Explanation:
20cm = 0.2m
Find the area of the floor:
Area = 5 x 20 = 100m
Find how many tiles are needed:
Let x be the number of tiles needed
(0.2)(x) = 100
x = 100/0.2
x = 500
