-1/3x-4/3y=2
1/3x-2/3y=4
First realize that the coefficient of x is -1/3 and 1/3 which can be eliminated with addition
Adding the two equations together gets
-6/3y=6
Simplify
-2y=6
y=-3
Substitute back into original equation
1/3x-2/3(-3)=4
1/3x+2=4
1/3x=2
x=6
Answer
x=6, y=-3
Check answer
-1/3(6)-4/3(-3) =?= 2
-2+4=2
2=2
Done!
Hi there!
Finding the equivalen ratio means to find a equivalent numbers that’s equivalent to 6 and 7 which also means a number that 6 and 7 all goes into...
6,12,18,24,30,36,42
7,14,21,28,35,42
Final Result: 42
Answer:
Table shown below
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let's use proportions.
If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price
For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds
Answer:
There are 3 adults in the family.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations 8x + 4y = 32 and 16x + 12y = 72 represent the cost of lunch and dinner for a family in which x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
We have to find the number of adults or the value of x by solving these equations.
equations are 8x + 4y = 32 -------(1)
16x + 12y = 72 --------(2)
Now we will multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract it by equation 2.
(16x + 12y) -3(8x + 4y) = 72 - 96
16x + 12y - 24x - 12y = -24
(16x - 24x) + (12y - 12y) = -24
-8x = - 24
8x = 24
x = 3
Therefore, there are 3 adults in the family.
