Answer:

the answer is

-x-8y=8

or, x + 8y= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 6y = 13 - (5x + 2y = 5)

or, 4x - 6y = 13

- 5x - 2y = -5

-------------------------

- x - 8y = 8

Add one on both sides of the equation. You would end up with -6=x/3. You would then cross multiply, so -6 times 3 and 1 (the denominator for -6) times x and you would get -18=x

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 70% pure anti

andre [41]

Answer:

First brand of antifreeze: 21 gallons

Second brand of antifreeze: 9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of first brand of antifreeze. 20% pure antifreeze

Let's call B the amount of second brand of antifreeze. 70% pure antifreeze

The resulting mixture should have 35% pure antifreeze, and 30 gallons.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

$A + B = 30$

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

$0.2A + 0.7B = 0.35 * 30$

$0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5$

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.7 and add it to the second equation:

$-0.7A -0.7B = -0.7*30$
