Answer is 9 .............
Answer: It is
Step-by-step explanation:
3/12 is actually a quarter which is equal to 0.25. It certainly isn't an irrational number, but is indeed a rational one.
If I understand you, a person eats about 14 pounds of turkey a year. So we will divide all that turkey (1120 pounds) by 14 to find out how many years.
1,120 ÷ 14 = 80 So it will take 80 years. (Since babies can't eat that much turkey a year it will actually take more than 80 years - or the person can eat more than 14 pounds in some years to make up for their early years when they ate less) I know it's a math question, but I also like to be realistic about it. Who measures the amount of turkey they eat yearly anyway? :-)
Answer:
The solution set is (-20/9, -95/9)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve using the substitution method, start by solving the second equation for y.
1/3y = 7/3x + 5/3
y = 7x + 5
Now that we have this, we can plug it in for y in the first equation. Then we can solve for x.
-4x - 2(7x + 5) = 30
-4x - 14x - 10 = 30
-18x - 10 = 30
-18x = 40
x = -20/9
Now that we have the value of x, we can solve for y by inputting the x value into either equation.
-4x - 2y = 30
-4(-20/9) - 2y = 30
80/9 - 2y = 30
80/9 - 2y = 270/9
-2y = 190/9
y = -95/9
