An archaeologist is categorizing the artifacts he has discovered. Two-thirds of the artifacts are shards of pottery. One-eighth

Reika [66]

Answer:

Personal items=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Total number of artifacts = 72.

We are told that 2/3 of total artifacts are shards of pottery.

$\text{Shards of pottery}=72*\frac{2}{3} =24*2=48$

We are also told that 1/8 of total artifacts are tools.

$\text{Tools}=72*\frac{1}{8}=9$

Now we will find out number of personal items by subtracting combined number of shards of pottery and tools from total number of artifacts.

$\text{ Personal items}=72-(48+9)$

$\text{ Personal items}=72-57=15$

Therefore, there are 15 personal items.

How do you do simultaneous equations by the method or substitution?

ozzi

Answer:

Here's the simplest example possible: let's say x + y = 3 and x - y = 1. Solve the second equation for x by adding y to both sides: (x - y) + y = 1 + y. So x = 1 + y. Take that value of x, and substitute it into the first equation given above (x + y = 3).
