Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+3y=-1
3x + y=-7
Solve for Y
3x+y=-7
-3x. -3x
y= -3x - 7
Plug in Y into the top equation
4x + 3 (-3x - 7) = -1
Distribute the Parenthesis
4x -9x-21=-1
Combine Like terms
-5x = 20
Divide by -5 on both sides
20/-5
x = -4
Answer:
number of laps = 5/2 = 2.5 laps
Explanation:
First, we will need to convert the minutes to seconds.
5 minutes = 5 * 60 = 300 seconds
Now, we know that she can run 1/3 of a lap in 40 seconds. To know the number of laps that she can run in 300 seconds, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
40 seconds .................> 1/3 laps
300 seconds ................> ?? laps
number of laps = (300 * 1/3) / 40
number of laps = (100) / 40
number of laps = 5/2 = 2.5 laps
Hope this helps :)
