Answer:
x=3
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 6-y
-plug in (6-y) into first equation
2(6-y)+3y = 15
12-2y+3y=15
-2y+3y = 3
y=3
x=6-3
x=3
double check:
(2*3) + (3*3) = 6 + 9 = 15
3 + 3 = 6
Hi there!
To estimate, we can round:
591.3 is approximately 600
29 is approximately 30
Now, we divide:
600 / 30 = 20
Hope this helps!
This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):
4 /6 = 15 / x
Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.
Let's cross-multiply:
4x = (15)(6)
x = 90/4
x = 22.5 in.
