3x + 3y = 27
3x - 3y = -11
------------------add
6x = 16
x = 16/6 which reduces to 8/3
3x + 3y = 27
3(8/3) + 3y = 27
8 + 3y = 27
3y = 27 - 8
3y = 19
y = 19/3
solution is (8/3, 19/3)
If 90% of bodies are water weight, then we have 10% left.
76+10% = 83.6.
83.6 total.
1. ratio = 2 c of dressing / 4 lb of vegetables
Use two variables: d for the number of c of dressing and v for the number of pounds of vegetables.
Then d / v = 2/4 = 1/2 => d = v/2
Now you can make a table
v d
2 1
4 2
6 3
8 2
And you can draw a line for the points (2,1); (4,2); (6,3), (8,4) ... the slope of the graph is the ratio = 1/2
b) I already did it above as part ot the explanation: d/v = 1/2
1c = 16t = x(
)
1c = 16t = 16 X 3
1c = 16t = 48
She should use 48 teaspoons of broth.
