<h2>x = 1/4</h2><h2>y = -2</h2><h2>______________</h2>
<h2>Known : </h2>
y = -8x
4x - y = 3
<h2>Asked: </h2>
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations ?
<h2>Answered:</h2>
<h3>Substitution y</h3>
4x - y = 3
4x - (-8x) = 3
4x + 8x = 3
12x = 3
x = 3/12
x = 1/4
<h3>
Substitution x</h3>
4x - y = 3
4(1/4) - y = 3
4/4 - y = 3
1 - y = 3
-y = 3 - 1
-y = 2
y = -2
Answer: there were 12 chocolates in each box. (Originally, before any got eaten)
Step-by-step explanation: let x represent the total amount of chocolates in each box.
8x - 3(8) = 72
8x - 24 = 72 add 24 to both sides
8x = 96 divide both sides by 8
X = 12
Answer: 37 percent of waste is disposed of in some form of a landfill, 8 percent of which is disposed of in sanitary landfills with landfill gas collection systems
The U.S. is the king of trash, producing a world-leading 250 million tons a year—roughly 4.4 pounds of trash per person per day Collectively, out of the 254 million tons of trash Americans can produce in one year, we recycle about 34.3 percent of it. For our average individual, 710.6 pounds are recycled and 1,361.4 pounds of trash are tossed out every year — about the weight of a grizzly bear Every year, U.S. landfills are filled with 139.6 million tons of waste, including 30.63 million tons of food. 26.82 million tons of plastic. 18.35 million tons of paper and paperboard.

Answer:
20/3 ounces of water is added.
Step-by-step explanation:
how many ounces of pure water should be added to 20 ounces of 40% solution of muriatic acid to obtain a 30% solution of muriatic acid?
--------------
The acid is 40% of 20 ounces = 8 ounces.
0.4*20 = 8
----------
That same 8 ounces is to be 30%. The water will be the other 70%.
8/30 = x/100
30x = 800
x = 80/3, the total amount of the solution.
We started with 20, so 80/3 - 20 = 20/3
20/3 ounces of water is added.
400/160=2.5 This is finding the necessary multiplier
2.5*5=x I used 2.5 and multiplied it by 5
x=12.5 minutes This is the answer
It would take 12 minutes and 30 seconds
