Answer:
X=3,y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simultaneous equation question and we will have to solve using substitution method
So let's solve
y=-2x+4...(1)
y=-2....(2)
Let's substitute (2) into (1)
-2=-2x+4
Substrate 4 from both sides
-6=-2x
Divide both sides by-2
x=3
Substitute the value of x in (1)
y=-2(3)+4
y=-6+4
y=-2
Therefore x is 3,y is -2
Answer:
7 /24 inch per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the average amount of rain, take the total amount of rain and divide by the time
7 inches / 24 hours
7 /24 inch per hour
Let the weight of soymeal be s, and let the weight of cornmeal be c.
You need a total of 280 lb, so that gives us one equation.
s + c = 280
Now we use the protein to write another equation.
The protein in s lb of soymeal is 0.14s.
The protein in c lb of cornmeal is 0.07c.
The protein in 280 lb of 0.09% protein mix is 0.09(280).
This gives us a second equation.
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Now we solve the two equations as a system of equations.
s + c = 280
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Solve the first equation for s and plug in tot eh second equation.
s = 280 - c
0.14(280 - c) + 0.07c = 25.2
39.2 - 0.14c + 0.07c = 25.2
-0.07c = -14
c = 200
Now we substitute c = 200 in the first equation to find s.
s + 200 = 280
s = 80
Answer: 200 lb of soymeal and 80 lb of cornmeal
Answer:
x= 1
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 9y = -28
-4x = y
8x + 9(-4x) = -28
8x - 36x = -28
-28x = - 28
x = 1
y = -4(1) = -4
