5x + y = 15
y = -5x + 15
Substituting y= -5x+15 from first equation into second equation:
3x + 2y = 16
3x + 2·(-5x + 15) = 16
3x - 10x + 30 = 16
-7x + 30 = 16
7x = 30 - 16 = 14
x = 2
Substituting x=2 into the first equation:
5x + y = 15
5(2) + y = 15
10 + y = 15
y = 15 - 10
y = 5
So your final answers are x=2 and y=5.
Make two equations representing the position of each animal, p and k, for the puppy and kitten respectively.
p=25t and k=180+20t
The puppy will catch the kitten when p=k so we can say:
25t=180+20t subtract 20t from both sides
5t=180 divide both sides by 5
t=36
So the puppy will catch the kitten after 36 seconds.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If I had to simplify 15/24 it would be 5/8
I would say 6 hours but i don’t think it is, sorry this one is a real tricky one
