Answer:
the problem has an infinite number of solutions
Explanation:
3x - 12y = 6
x - 4y = 2
make the coefficient of x same by multiplying the entire following by 3
⇒ ( x - 4y = 2 ) * 3
⇒ 3x - 12y = 6 __ equation 2
3x - 12y = 6 __ equation 1
solving using elimination method:
3x - 12y = 6
3x - 12y = 6

Answer:
I beleive it is the first one, but I am not 100% sure. Sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 7 when x = 3
k = 
= 
, thus
y = x ← equation of variation
When x = 7, then
y = × 7 =
Let
x---------> the length of the first piece
y---------> the length of the second piece
z---------> the length of the third piece
we know that
x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1
y=x+6 -----> solve for x
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
z=6+y -------> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72
3y=72
y=(72/3)=24 in
<u>Find the value of x</u>
x=y-6 -------> equation 2
x=24-6=18 in
<u>Find the value of z</u>
z=6+y -------> equation 3
z=6+24=30 in
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the first piece is 18 in
the length of the second piece 24 in
the length of the third piece is 30 in
Percent sold=sold/original times 100
sold=816
original=850
percent sold=816/850 times 100
percent sold=0.96 times 100
percent sold=96%
