Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.
It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.
We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.
Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.
Metal part = three-fourth of total weight = 
Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.
Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.
X+y=15
0.3x+0.6y=0.4*15=6
solve the system of equation.
Multiply equation one by 0.3: 0.3x+0.3y=4.5
subtract the new from the second equation: 0.3y=1.5
y=5
x=10
Start with the solution
x=-25
use the reverse of what they asked
they wanted division and addition
we use multiplication and subtract
ok
x=-25
we can use subtraction and multiplication in any order
minus 10 from both sides
x-10=-35
multiply both sides by 4
4(x-10)=-140
4x-40=-140 is a possible equation
The best and most correct answers among the choices provided by the question are:
<span>▢A. -2x+3y=-15
▢B. y=2/3x-5</span>
y = mx + b. where m is the slope<span> of the line and b is the y-</span>intercept<span> of the line, or the y-coordinate of the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. To write an equation in </span>slope-intercept form<span>, given a graph of that equation, pick two points on the line and use them to find the </span>slope<span>.</span>
I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
