<span>Solve the system
9x = 27-9y
20x=71-9y
Let's use the "elimination through addition/subtraction method.
Multiply the first equation by -1 so as to obtain +9y:
-9x = -27 + 9y
</span><span>20x= 71- 9y
--------------------
Add these 2 equations together:
</span>-9x = -27 + 9y
20x= 71- 9y
--------------------
<span> 11x = 44
Solve this for x: x = 44/11 = 4.
Now find y by subst. 4 for x in either of the original equations.
Using the second equation: </span><span>
</span>20x=71-9y
20(4) = 71 - 9y
80-71 = -9y
9 = -9y. Then y = -1.
The solution set is (4,-1).
To answer this item, we let x be the distance that Jimmy drove from his origin and back. Given the speeds, the time it takes for him to travel to and fro are,
t1 = x / 46
t2 = x / 52
respectively.
The equation that would best represent the scenario is,
x/46 - x/52 = 0.6
The value of x from the equation is 239.2.
The trip there takes x/46 which is equal to 239.2/46 which is also equal to 5.2 hours. The travel from the cabin back took 4.6 hours.
Answer and explanation:
Farmer's number of apples = 96 apples
Given that Farmer needs to bag the apples so that there are at least 4 apples in each bag(not less than 4 apples in each bag) and not more than 10 apples in each bag
And also all apples in each bag are equal
We need to find the numbers between 4 and 10(including 4 and 10) that can divide 96 without a remainder
4 can divide 96= 24
5 cannot divide 96 without remainder
6 can divide 96 =16
7 cannot divide 96 without remainder
8 can divide 96=12
9 cannot divide 96 without remainder
10 cannot divide 96 without remainder
From the above we see that the factors of 96 = 4, 6, 8 between 4 and 10
4 apples = 24 bags
6 apples = 16 bags
8 apples = 12 bags
Therefore, there can be 3 possible ways of having equal number of apples in each bag between 4 and 10 apples
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=-2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
4(-3x-1)=13x+6 ~ Distribute the 4 into the parenthesis
-12x-4 = 13x+6 ~ add 12x to both sides
-4= 25x + 6 ~ subtract 6 from both sides
-10 =25x ~ divide by 25
-10/25 = x ~ simplify the fraction by dividing the num. and den by 5
-2/5 =x
