The answer will be the last one.
X=14 Y=12 I hope this helpex.
X = bessie and y = betty
x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375
x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons
y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons
Answer:
15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies directly as x can be written as:
y & x
y = Kx
K = y/x
But from the question, we were told that:
y = 10
X = 20
K = y/x
K = 10/20
K = 1/2
The formula for the expression is:
y = Kx
y = 1/2 x
Now let us solve for y, when:
x = 15
y = 1/2 x
y = 1/2 x 15
y = 15/2
Answer:
1449/2691
Step-by-step explanation:
We must start from the fraction that is 7/13. Now, we know that it was simplified, with trial and error we can reach the result.
First, let's multiply both by 200:
7 * 200 = 1400
13 * 200 = 2600
1400 + 2600 = 4000
It means that we are missing 140, to reach the objective, that is, we are close, let's try 205 now:
7 * 205 = 1435
13 * 205 = 2665
1435 + 2665 = 4100
We get even closer, only 40 missing, let's try 207 below:
7 * 205 = 1449
13 * 205 = 2691
1449 + 2691 = 4140
We managed to get to the corresponding numbers, therefore the original fraction was 1449/2691
