Answer:
y = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
=
( cross- multiply )
4y = - 7 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = -

Answer:
1204
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>x</em> kg of Maxwell House coffee contains 0.13<em>x</em> kg of Columbian beans.
<em>y</em> kg of Folgers contains 0.21<em>y</em> kg of beans.
You want a mixture weighing 70 kg, so
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 70
You also want this blend to consist of 19% Columbian beans, or 0.19 (70 kg) = 13.3 kg, so
0.13<em>x</em> + 0.21<em>y</em> = 13.3
Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> :
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 70 ===> <em>y</em> = 70 - <em>x</em>
0.13<em>x</em> + 0.21<em>y</em> = 13.3 ===> 0.13<em>x</em> + 0.21 (70 - <em>x</em>) = 13.3
0.13<em>x</em> + 14.7 - 0.21<em>x</em> = 13.3
14.7 - 13.3 = 0.21<em>x</em> - 0.13<em>x</em>
1.4 = 0.08<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 17.5
<em>y</em> = 52.5
<h3>
Answer: 2.9 hours approximately</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
Let's say the room has walls and ceiling of 350 sq ft in total area.
Sally can paint this area in 5 hours when working alone, so her unit rate is 350/5 = 70 sq ft per hour.
Steve needs 7 hours to do the same job when working alone, so his unit rate is 350/7 = 50 sq ft per hour.
Assuming the two people can work together without hindering each other (i.e. without getting in each other's way), then the two unit rates combine to 70+50 = 120 sq ft per hour.
Divide the total area over this combined unit rate
350/120 = 2.91667 approximately
This rounds to 2.9

Alternatively, you can solve the equation
And you should get roughly x = 2.9
