Answer:

x = -5 y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2y = 9

multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination

3(x - 3y)= 3(4)

3x-9y = 12

so now combine both to add

-3x + 2y = 9

3x - 9y = 12

Adding both gives you

-7y = 21

divide both by -7 and you get

y = -3

and you substitute y back into equation to get x

x - 3 (-3) = 4 gives you

x + 9 = 4

x = 4 - 9

x = -5

Melanie has a piece of cloth 12 and 1/3 yards long. How many 3/4 yard-long pieces can be cut from the cloth?

Harrizon [31]

This is a division problem. First, get 12 1/3 into fraction form instead of mixed number form to make your life easier;
$12 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{36}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{37}{3} 
$
Now, divide the two fractions. Since this is fraction division, the reciprocal is flipped and the two fractions multiplied.
$\frac{37}{3} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{148}{9} = 16 \frac{4}{9} 
$
The answer from the fraction division is 16 and four-ninths, but because you need a whole number as an answer,
the answer is 16 pieces.
