5x + y = 9....multiply by 7
10x - 7y = -18
----------------
35x + 7y = 63 (result of multiplying by 7)
10x - 7y = -18
----------------add
45x = 45
x = 45/45
x = 1
5x + y = 9
5(1) + y = 9
5 + y = 9
y = 9 - 5
y = 4
solution is : (1,4)
=========================
-4x + 9y = 9
x - 3y = -6 ....multiply by 4
----------------
-4x + 9y = 9
4x - 12y = -24 (result of multiplying by 4)
---------------add
- 3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5
x - 3y = -6
x - 3(5) = -6
x - 15 = -6
x = -6 + 15
x = 9
solution is : (9,5)
Answer:
36 Treats
Step-by-step explanation:
The dog trainer started with a bag of 60 treats.
The dog trainer gives treats to 8 dogs with 3 treats meaning 8x3= 24
The trainer gave a total of 24 treats to the 8 dogs.
If the trainer had 60 treats at the start minus 24 (60-24=36).
That means the trainer now has a total of 36 treats left.
