Answer:

Rewrite the first equation as x = 36 – 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 36 (1)

4x + 5y = 9 (2)

Using substitution method

From (1)

x = 36 - 3y

Substitute x = 36 - 3y into (2)

4x + 5y = 9

4(36 - 3y) + 5y = 9

144 - 12y + 5y = 9

- 12y + 5y = 9 - 144

-7y = -135

y = -135 / -7

y = 19.3

There is an error with the second equation, 4x + 5y can not be equal to 9

Nevertheless, the first step when solving by substitution is:

Rewrite the first equation as

x = 36 – 3y.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

8.30256

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out expression

((-3)^{\frac{1}{5} })^{4(3^{\frac{1}{5} })^4

Step 2: Use BPEMDAS to evaluate

(-1.24573)^{4(3^{\frac{1}{5} })^4

(-1.24573)^{4(1.24573)^4

(-1.24573)^{4(2.40822)

(-1.24573)^{9.6329}

= 8.30256

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 270.9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula  we use here is :

\text{Distance=Speed * Number of gallons of gasoline}

Given : Ashton used 12.6 gallons of gasoline to drive his car on a weekend trip. he averaged 21.5 miles per gallon.

Then \text{Distance traveled }=12.6\times21.5=270.9\text{ miles}

Hence, he traveled 270.9 miles.
