Answer:
y = 3, x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x – 3y = 6
5x = 6 + 3y
x = (6 + 3y)/5
3x + 4y= 21
3x = 21 - 4y
x = (21-4y)/3
Using simultaneous equations:
(21-4y)/3 = (6 + 3y)/5
--> 105-20y = 18 + 9y
29y = 87
Answer:
8 2/5 inches!
Step-by-step explanation:
The lighthouse is 120 feet, and 4 inches of height on the model equals 50 feet of height on the lighthouse. 100 divided by 50 = 2, and 4 multiplied by 2 is 8. 20 divided by 50 = 2/5, so the answer is 8 2/5 inches. :)
The answer is 15 !
Explanation:
You have 15 slots, each of which will hold one of the names of the players. You need to fill the first slot with some name.
There are 9 two-year-olds and 18 each of 3 and 4 year olds.
To solve this we could write and solve the equation below, letting x be the number of 3 and 4 year olds.
x/2 + x + x = 45
x + 2x + 2x = 90
5x = 90
x = 18
From here, we just divide 18 by 2 to get the number of 2 year olds.
