Given:
The system of equations that represent the constraints for the given situation is
To find:
The solution of given system of equations.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 4.
...(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (ii), we get
Divide both sides by 12.90.
Put this value in (i).
The solution of system of equations is x=1.5 and y=2.75. It means, the yards of silk are 1.5 and yards of cotton are 2.75.
Ok so when the divisor get larger, the quotient gets smaller.
For example, 15 ÷ 3 = 5. If we make the divisor larger, you can see the quotient get smaller. 15 ÷ 5 = 3.
The same thing goes for the other way around. If the divisor gets smaller, the quotient gets larger. Hope I helped!
X>7/6
Combine like terms
Subtract 2.75x from both sides
Combine like terms
Divide -1.5 from both sides
Answer:
6 hours. ( I DID IT USING PROPORTIONS!)
Step-by-step explanation:
houses/hours
130/2.5= 312/x
(cross multiply)
130x = 780
130x/130 = 780/ 130 (divide each by 130)
6 = h
I believe the answer you are looking for is -20.
