17 = -13 - 8x .....add 13 to both sides
13 + 17 = -8x
30 = -8x...now divide both sides by -8
-30/8 = x...reduce
- 15/4 or -3 3/4 = x <===
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, you can write the following equations:
x+y=300 (1)
5x+8y=300*7
5x+8y=2100(2)
First, you can isolate x in (1):
x=300-y (3)
Now, you can replace (3) in (2):
5(300-y)+8y=2100
1500-5y+8y=2100
3y=2100-1500
y=600/3
y=200
Then, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:
x=300-200
x=100
According to this, the answer is that he should use 100 pounds of dried pineapple and 200 pounds of dried apricots.
