This problem is already a bit more simple since they give you the amount of fabric per sock. Now, to solve, you will want to divide 9 3/4 by 5/6. However, if you don't have a calculator, it's rather inconvenient to solve with a fraction, so convert the fraction to a decimal, which should leave you as 9.75 divided by .83333333. Your final answer should be somewhere around 11.7 socks. Since you can't make 7/10 of a sock, your answer should be around 11 socks.

What is the solution to the system of equations below? Y=-4/5x-6 & y=-30

Ainat [17]

So when you are trying to find the solution to the system of equations make sure that you have it where y= -4/5x-6 and y= -30 are written like this:

-30=-4/5x-6

And then solve for x:

Add 6 on both sides.

-24=-4/5x

Then multiply by the reciprocal of -4/5.

-5/4*-24=-5/4*-4/5x

x=30

But then you are gonna want to plug 30 in for x in y=-4/5x-6 to make sure that it is the same as y=-30.
