Answer:

Imagine an easier version of this problem:  You have a board 5 feet long that you must cut (divide, right?) into two equal parts.  It is probably clear to you that you simply divide the length (5) by the number of parts you're dividing it into (2) to obtain the length of each piece (2.5 feet).

Use the same method for your problem 5 feet divided by 6 is 0.83 feet per piece.

We do not ordinarily divide feet into decimal portions, but instead into inches.  Since an inch is 1/12 of a foot, you could simply say 5/6 = how many twelfths?  or 5/6 = n/12  Solve this by inspection or by cross multiplying 5 times 12 equals n times 6.  So n must equal 10, and your pieces of board are each 10 inches long.

I need help on this and a few more i have been busy lately
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

ok so we have to make it so we can get rid of one of the varibles by adding or subtracting

so lets multiply the first one by 4

120x+16y=4160

minus the second one so

108x=2160

divide by 108

x=20

then we just plug in

12(20)+16y=2000

240+16y=2000

-240

16y=1760

divide by 16

y=110

(20,110)

Hope This Helps!!!
