Number of plants = 5
Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Now here we have to find how much soil will each plant get.
So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.
Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons
Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 14.5 y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
get the x alone by subtracting 5y from both sides
10x + 5y = 150
- 5y -5y
10x = -5y + 150
divide both sides by 10
<u>10x</u> = <u>-5y + 150</u>
10 10
x = -0.5y + 15
Now that we've solved for x, we can plug it into the original equation
10 (-0.5y + 15) + 5y = 150
now we solve for y the same way we did x
first distribute 10 into (-0.5y + 15)
-5 + 150 +5y = 150
now we get the y alone
-5 + 150 + 5y = 150
+5 -150 -150 +5
5y = 5
now divide by 5
<u>5y</u> = <u>5</u>
5 5
y = 1
now that we have both x and y, we plug y into our solution for x
x = -0.5y + 15
x = -0.5(1) + 15
x= -0.5 + 15
x = 14.5
