Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

This is calculated as:

(Number of ducks with bands × Number of examined ducks)/ Number of ducks found with leg band

= Number of ducks with bands = 12 ducks

Number of examined ducks = 20 ducks

Number of ducks found with leg band = 3 ducks

Hence:

12 × 20/3

= 240/3

= 80 ducks

Therefore, 80 ducks used the ponds

As a first step in solving the system shown, Yumiko multiplies both sides of the equation 2x – 3y = 12 by 6. By what factor shou
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Yumiko should multiply the other equation by 3.

If she adds the two equations she would be left with the variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two equations are as follows:

$ 2x - 3y = 12 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (1) $

$ 5x + 6y = 18 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (2) $

It is given that she multiplies the first equation by 6. Therefore, (1) becomes

$ 12x - 18y = 72 \hspace{15mm} \hdots (a) $

Now, note that the sign of the variable 'y' is negative. So, if we make the co-effecient of 'y' equal in both the cases, add them it would result in the elimination of the variable 'y'.

The co-effecient of y in Equation (2) is 6. To make it 18 like it is in Equation (1), we multiply throughout by 3.

Therefore, Equation (2) becomes:

$ 15x + 18y = 54 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (b) $

Now, we add Equation (a) and Equation (b).

$ \implies 12x - 18y + 15x + 18y = 72 + 54 $

$ \implies 27x = 126 $

Factor: 3

Equation: 27x = 126
