Step-by-step explanation:
1.6a= -9.12
a= -9.12/1.6
=−5.7
option B
Let the number total slices = x
He ate (1/4) x
He has x - 1/4 x = 3/4 x slices left.
Each one of these slices is cut into 1/8s
T (total number of slices) = 8 * (3/4x)
T = (8*3/4) x
T = (24/4)x
T = 6x slices.
Answer:
Option D is correct.
13x = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equation is given:
....[1]
.....[2]
Multiply equation [1] by 5 to both sides we have;
.....[3]
Using elimination method:
Add [2] and [3] equations to eliminate y and solve for x, we have;

Divide both sides by 13 we get;
x = 3
Substitute x in [1] we have;
2(3)-y = -4
6-y = -4
Subtract 6 from both sides we have;
-y = -10
Divide both sides by -1 we have;
y = 10
⇒Solution: (3, 10)
Therefore, an equation can replace 3x+5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution is,
13x = 39
This may not be the right answer but I do believe it is 16 different combinations
