Answer:
x = 4/7
y = 60/7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 36
y = x + 8
Substitute the second equation into the first since it already has the y isolated for you:
3x + 4(x + 8) = 36
3x + 4x + 32 = 36
7x = 4
x = 4/7
Take the answer you got from the equation above and plug that into the second equation:
y = 4/7 + 8
y = 60/7
To check just LS/RS both equations:
3(4/7) + 4(60/7) = 36
12/7 = 240/7 = 36
252/7 = 36
36 = 36
LS = RS
60/7 = 4/7 + 8
60/7 = 60/7
LS = RS
58r=70
r=35/29
r≈1.2069
So the rate was about 1.21 or if you prefer about 20.7%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of bananas that Tommy eats.
Let y represent the total number of pieces of fruit that the monkey eats.
Every day, his monkey eats 4 apples in the morning. The monkey also eats two bananas for every banana that tommy eats. This means that the number of bananas that the monkey eats is 2x. The expression for the total number of fruits eaten by the monkey becomes
y = 2x + 4
Answer: 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle = bh/2
where b = base = unknown
h = height = 5 3/4 inches
Area = 46 inches²
Therefore, 46 = base × 5 3/4 / 2
Cross multiply
46 × 2 = base × 5 3/4
92 = base × 5 3/4
Base = 92 ÷ 5 3/4
Base = 92 ÷ 23/4
Base = 92 × 4/23
Base = 4 × 4
Base = 16 inches
I got 16.8 , but she’ll need roughly 17 gallons of paint :)
how i did it :
1. so you know she’ll need 4/5 per book case, and there are 16 bookcases.
2. So you do 16 x 5, then you get 84
3. and you divide 84 by 5. and you’ll get 16.8, that’s how many gallons of paint she needs
