Hi there!
To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.
Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y
3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1
Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:
y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1
So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.
Hope this helps!

Let x = amount of 70% juice we use.
Then 60-x = amount of 85% juice we'll use.
We'll set up an equation that is based on how much pure juice comes from each component and how much we need in the final mixture.
So 70% of x plus 85% of (60-x) must equal 80% of 60, or...
0.7x + 0.85(60-x) = 0.8(60)
0.7x + 51 - 0.85x = 48
-0.15x + 51 = 48
-0.15x = -3
x = 20
Then 60 - x = 60 - 20 = 40
Check: 70% of 20 pints = 14 pints of pure juice.
85% of 40 pints = 34 pints of pure juice
That's 48 pints of pure juice in the mix, which matche 80% 0f 60 pints.
You'd need 20 pints of the 70% juice and 40 pints of the 85% juice.
Answer: You're right.
Step-by-step explanation: There are only 6 parts to a die. so the change of landing on 6 would be 1/6, bc there's only 1-6 once.
Answer:
976 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of one 2d triangle face: (24*14)/2=168 square cm
Area of both 2d triangles faces: 168 + 168 =336 square cm
Area of one side: 25*10=250 square cm
Area of both sides: 250+250=500
Area of base: 14*10=140 (since it's a triangular prism, there's only one base)
Surface Area: 336+500+140=976 square cm
Hope this helps! :)
