Answer:
(3, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3y = 27 → (1)
2x + y = 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
y = 10 - 2x → (2)
substitute y = 10 - 2x into (1)
5x + 3(10 - 2x) = 27
5x + 30 - 6x = 27
- x + 30 = 27 ( subtract 30 from both sides )
- x = - 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = 3
substitute x = 3 into (2)
y = 10 - 2(3) = 10 - 6 = 4
solution is (3, 4 )
Answer:
65 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two simultaneous equations
. Remeber that v=d/t, 1hour = 60 minutes.
1. 40 = (d+15)/(t+0.5)
2. 50 = d/t
solving: d= 25 miles and t=0.5 hours.
The distance traveled is:
D=d+d+15
D=65 miles
Hello there!
First, we need to admit that math is a hard subject. So, how do we handle hard stuff? We find an easy way. Right?
Well same goes here. They give the fractions to drive us crazy. Let's find the easiest way...
The easiest way is to turn them into decimals.
1 3/7 = 1.42 which is the amount of pages he reads
2/3 = 0.67 minute.
The are asking us how many pages does he reads per minute.
So we gonna say:
Charlie reads 1.42 pages ......> 0.67
Charlie reads x pages.............> 1minute
Cross multiply
0.67 * x = 1 * 1.42
0.67x = 1.42
x = 1.42/0.67
x = 2.11
So, Charlie reads 2.11 pages in 1 minute.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have questions about the answer.
Thanks!
