Answer:
The redaction does not explain the situation. If we assume that 15 balloons were used to make one ballon poodle and three giraffes, then the answer would be 7,5 balloons for 1 poodle, and 2,5 balloons for a giraffe
Step-by-step explanation:
With 15 balloons we make 1 poodle and 3 giraffes. This means that 7,5 balloons were used to make 1 poodle, and other 7,5 balloons were used to make 3 giraffes.
If we divide 7,5 balloons between 3, we obtain 2,5. This means that with 2,5 balloons we make 1 giraffe
Answer:
x=5, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
You simply write down what you see:
3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17
2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9
Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:
7x - 9y = 17
5x - 8y = 9
Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:
35x - 45y = 85
-35x + 56y = -63
-------------------------+ now we can add them:
11y = 22 divide by -11
y = 2
So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5
Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:
3*5 - 4*2 = 7
4*5 - 5*2 = 10
7+10 = 17: ok!
2*5 - 3*2 = 4
3*5 - 5*2 = 5
4+5 = 9: ok!
