Hi! to solve the question, how many necklaces did anne make in 16 hours if she makes 10 items in 2 standard 8-hour work days, we should first check the time she needs to make each item.
3 individual hours to make a necklace, and 1 hour to make a ring. according to the problem, she made 10 items in 16 hours. this problem will most likely be trial and error. let’s try one first guess.
my first guess will be, maybe she will make 6 rings and 4 necklaces. 6 times 1 is 6, which takes 6 hours for the rings. 4 times 3 is equal to 12. 6 + 12 is too high! let’s try again.
what about 6 rings and 2 necklaces? 6 times 1 is 6, so that’s 6 hours. 2 times 3 is 6 hours! 6 plus 6 is 12, which is close, but not quite there!
let’s try 7 rings and 3 necklaces! 7 times 1 is 7 hours. 3 times 3 is equal to 9 hours! total that together, 7 plus 9, is equal to 16 hours spent!
so, the answer would be, “Anne made 7 rings and 3 necklaces within 16 hours.” hope this helped!:)
First we get the value of y in terms of x
We have 2x + y + 9 = 0
We transpose 2x and 9 to the other side so we could get the value of y being:
y = - 2x - 9
Now that we have the value of y we can substitute it to the first equation
6x - 3y + 10 = 0
6x - 3 (-2x - 9) + 10 = 0
Simplifying the inside of the parentheses we would have
6x - (3)(-2x) - (3)(-9) + 10 =0
6x + 6x + 27 + 10 = 0
Combining similar terms we would get
12x + 37 = 0
We transpose 37 to the other side for easier simplification
12x = - 37
We divide both sides by 12 to get the value of x
12x/12 = - 37/12
Since 12/12 is equal to 1 our value of x would be
x = - 37/12
Or simply x = - 3.0833
Now that we know the value of x we can use it to obtain the value of y
y = - 2x - 9
y = - 2(-37/12) - 9
y = 37/6 - 9
y = - 17/6
Or in decimal y = - 2.8333
Final values of x and y would be
x = - 3.0833
y = - 2.8333
I do A and B but that is the way I learned it. Hope this helps :)
Um this is a chemistry question, you should probably put it in the chemistry section.
