Answer:
Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.
8x+9y=48;12x+5y=21
Steps:
Multiply the first equation by 5,and multiply the second equation by -9.
5(8x+9y=48)
−9(12x+5y=21)
Becomes:
40x+45y=240
−108x−45y=−189
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−68x=51
Then solve−68x=51for x:
−68x
/−68
=
51
/−68 (Divide both sides by -68)
x= −3
/4
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
8x+9y=48
Substitute
−3
/4
8x+9y=48:
8(
−3
/4
)+9y=48
9y−6=48 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
9y−6+6=48+6 (Add 6 to both sides)
9y=54
9y
/9 = 54
/9 (Divide both sides by 9) y=6
<em><u>Answer: x= −3
/4 and y=6</u></em>

The value decimal point is changing going to the right as you divide a number by 10.
For example
=> 2000.3 / 10
notice the decimal point
=> 200.013, the value of decimal numbers increases as the value of whole number decreases.Let’s divide again
=> 200.013 / 10
=> 20.0013 , now we already have 4 digits in our decimals.
So, simply as we divide the given number by 10, the decimal point moves to the left making the value of whole number decreases and making the number of digits of decimal increase.
The second plant would because it grew one more inch in one less month (that's faster) than the other plant.
36 divided by 2 is 18
That mean each basketball is $18
18 dollars multiplied by 3 basketballs is 54
Three basket balls cost $54
