Answer:
First backpacker should receive $4 and the second one $2
Step-by-step explanation:
notice that the total amount of rice for the three is 600 g.
Then, the first one that gave 400 g contributed 400 out of 600, that is 400/600 = 2/3
The second one contributed 200 out of 600, that is 200/600 = 1/3
then the first one should receive 2/3 of the $6 = (2/3) x 6 = $4
and the second one should receive 1/3 of the %6 = (1/3) x 6 = $2
Answer:
x = -1, y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve our system of equations by substitution.
y = 5x + 9y = −x + 3
Step: Solve = 5x + 9 for y:
y = 5x + 9
Step: Substitute 5x + 9 for y in y = −x + 3:
y = −x + 3
5x + 9 = −x + 3
5x + 9 + x = −x + 3 + x (Add x to both sides)
6x + 9 = 3
6x + 9 + −9 = 3 + −9 (Add -9 to both sides)
6x = −6
6x/ 6 = −6/6(Divide both sides by 6)
x = −1
Step: Substitute −1 for x in y = 5x + 9:
y = 5x + 9
y = (5)(−1) + 9
y = 4(Simplify both sides of the equation)
So our answers are y = -4 and x = -1.
