Answer:

Multiply the first equation by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+y=3) which gives

4x+4y=12

and

4x-y=7

Then subtract the two equations and the x variable will be eliminated.

Neil has 3 partially full cans of white paint. They cantain 1/3 gallon, 1/5 gallon, and 1/2 gallon of paint. About how much pain
Marianna [84]

Answer:

1  1/30 gallons, or 31/30 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Before these fractions can be added together they have to have a common denominator.  The Least Common Multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is 30, so

1/3 = 10/30   1/5 = 6/30   1/2 = 15/30

10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30 = 31/30, or 1  1/30

Do the questions that are circled also GCF stands for greatest common factor
Marizza181 [45]
I’m not sure how your class works, but usually if they are circled it means you only have to do the circled ones. GCF always stands for greatest common factor

Mark bought 12 boxes of paper clips and 10 packages of index cards for a
Nata [24]

Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95
