Given:

The system of equations is

x+3y=42       ...(i)

2x-y=14        ...(ii)

To find:

The number that must be multiplied with the second equation to eliminate the y-variable.

Solution:

Coefficient of y variable in equation (i) is 3 and in equation (ii) is -1.

To eliminate y-variable the absolute value of coefficients of y-variables should be same.

So, we need to multiply the second equation by 3 to eliminate the y-variable

Multiplying equation (ii) by 3, we get

6x-3y=42      ...(iii)

Adding (i) and (iii), we get

x+3y+6x-3y=42+42

7x=84

Divide both sides by 7.

x=12

Put x=12 in (i).

12+3y=42

3y=42-12

3y=30

Divide both sides by 10.

y=10

Therefore, x=12 and y=10.

Tori bought 24 candy bars for 69 cents each. She used partial products to find the total cost in cents. Which are NOT possible p
rewona [7]

Answer:

B. 36 C. 180 D. 240 E. 1,656

Step-by-step explanation:

Partial product is the multiplication of individual digit of a number in turn with each digit of the others where each digit maintains its place.

Using distributive property to multiply 24 × 69 to determine our partial products:

i.e.

24 × 69 = 24 × (60 + 9)

= (24 × 60) + (24 × 9)

= 60 (20 + 4) + 9(20 + 4)

So; we can have:

= (60 × 20) + (60 × 4) + (9 × 20) + (9 × 4)

= 1200 + 240 + 180 + 36  

= 1656

If I paid $9.00 for 4 lb of candies, how much candies can I buy for $12.00?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

We are given that 4 lb of candies are bought for $9.00

Therefore, the price of 1 lb of candies is:

\frac{9}{4}=2.25

Now the amount of candies that can bought for $12.00 is:

\frac{12}{2.25} =5.3333 lb

Therefore, 5.3333 lb of candies can be bought for $12.00

A mile is 5280 feet.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

10408 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

convert miles to ft

4 miles/hr * 5280 ft/ mile = 21120 ft/hr

convert hr to min

21120 ft/hr * 1hr/60 min = 352 ft/ min

multiply by 40 minutes

352 ft/min * 40 min =14080 ft
