Answer:

54minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to clean up be t

Let the number of people cleaning be n

If the time it takes to clean up after an anniversary party varies inversely as the number of people cleaning then;

t = k/n

k is the constant of proportionality

If 3 people work together to clean, and took them 90 minutes, this means

at t = 90, n=3

Substitute

90 = k/3

k = 3×90

k = 270

To et the time it will take 5people to clean, the will say;

t =k/n

t =270/5

t = 54 minutes

Hence it will take 5 people 54minues to clean

Helena needs 3.5 cups of flour per loaf of bread and 2.5 cups of flour per batch of muffins. She also needs 0.75 cup of sugar pe
vesna_86 [32]
Let
 x = loaves of bread
 y = batches of muffins
 You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
 3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
 0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
 Resolving we have
 x = 6-y (from (2))
 replacing in (1)
 3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
 21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
 y = 21-17 = 4
 Then substituting in (2)
 x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
 Answer
 Helena could bake:
 2 loaves of bread
 4 batches of muffins

Find the solution for the system of linear equations by substitution: 2x - y = 3 y − x = 1
Leviafan [203]

The solution for the system of linear equations 2x- y = 3 and y - x = 1 are x = 4 and y = 5

<h3>What are linear equations?</h3>

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change, slope or gradient

<h3>How to determine the solution to the system?</h3>

A system of linear equations is a collection of at least two linear equations.

In this case, the system of equations is given as

2x- y = 3

y - x = 1

Make y the subject in the second equation, by adding x to both sides of the equation

y - x + x = x + 1

This gives

y = x + 1

Substitute y = x + 1 in 2x- y = 3

2x- x - 1 = 3

Evaluate the like terms

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 in y = x + 1

y = 4 + 1

Evaluate

y = 5

Hence, the solution for the system of linear equations 2x- y = 3 and y - x = 1 are x = 4 and y = 5

50 POINTS!!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER SHOWS STEPS! THANK YOU!:)))
taurus [48]

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have something that says it is the f(x) or just f(something) then that is just telling you what the x equals. In this case, x=4 so you plug that into the equation.

This gives you f(4)=4(4)+7. From here, you will use the order of operations to solve.

f(4)=4*4+7

f(4)=16+7

f(4)=23
