Answer:
Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.
8x+9y=48;12x+5y=21
Steps:
Multiply the first equation by 5,and multiply the second equation by -9.
5(8x+9y=48)
−9(12x+5y=21)
Becomes:
40x+45y=240
−108x−45y=−189
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−68x=51
Then solve−68x=51for x:
−68x
/−68
=
51
/−68 (Divide both sides by -68)
x= −3
/4
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
8x+9y=48
Substitute
−3
/4
8x+9y=48:
8(
−3
/4
)+9y=48
9y−6=48 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
9y−6+6=48+6 (Add 6 to both sides)
9y=54
9y
/9 = 54
/9 (Divide both sides by 9) y=6
<em><u>Answer: x= −3
/4 and y=6</u></em>

Answer:
4:20
Step-by-step explanation:
35-15= 20
So to set up the equation we have:
<span><span><span>4M</span><span>4+M</span></span>=<span>127</span></span>
<span>28M=12(4+M)</span>
<span>28M=48+12M</span>
<span>28K−12M=48</span>
<span>(28−12)M=48</span>
<span>16K=48</span>
<span>M=<span>4816</span></span>
<span>M=3</span>
