3x+3y=33     notice how in the bottom equation you can multiply y by 3 to get 
2x+y=19       what is on top. This sets you up for an easy case of elimination!                                 Multiply everything on the bottom by -3 to start.
3x+3y=33     Then you can cross out the y's (because they're opposite) and 
-6x-3y=-57                             combine equations 

-3x=-24   From there it is pretty straight forward to find x: Just divide -24 by -3

x=8             Then plug it back into any of your original equations and find y

3(8)+3y=33                            You should find that y=3

A food pantry distributes 10-ounce bags of flour. A supermarket donates nine 5-pound bags to the pantry. How many 10-ounce bags
DanielleElmas [232]
Given:
nine 5 pound bags 
distributed into 10-ounce bags

1 pound = 16 ounces

9 x 5 pounds = 45 pounds

45 pounds * 16 ounces/lbs = 45 * 16 oz = 720 ounces

720 ounces / 10 ounce bags = 720/10 = 72 bags.

The workers at the food pantry will be able to make 72 bags.

If x+y=9, and 8(x+3y)= 120, what is the value of x-y
Triss [41]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:

{x + y =9

{8x + 24y = 120

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation.

{x + y = 9

{x + 3y = 15

Subtract the two equations: x + y - (x +3y) = 9 - 15

Remove paranthesis: x + y - x - 3y = 9 - 15

Cancel the unknown variables: y - 3y = 9 - 15

Combine like terms: -2y=9 - 15

Calculate the sum or difference: -2y = -6

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation: y =3

Substitute one unknown quantity into the elimination: x + 3 = 9

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: x = 9 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: x = 6

Write the solution set of equations: {x = 6

                                                           {y = 3

Substitute: 6 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: 3

Answer: 3
