Answer:

  y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x can be eliminated by subtracting the first equation from the second.

  (-x +4y) -(-x -y) = (15) -(5)

  5y = 10 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 2 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Why is 1/8 greater than 1/10 but less than 1/3
Eddi Din [679]
Because in '1/8', there are 8 whole number but one shaded and in '1/10', there are 10 whole number and one shaded. as you see in the picture, the smaller the denominator is(when it goes up), the more bigger it is than those below. So 1/8 is greater than 1/10. but 1/8 is smaller than 1/3, because remember:
*The more you go down(or the higher the denominator is), the more you are making the fraction into more smaller pieces.

Sam wants to find the best buy on cans of tuna. He reads these four ads in the newspaper.$12.53 for seven cans$5.97 for three ca
grandymaker [24]
In each case divide the price by the number of cans.
The best buy is the lowest price.
$12.53/7 = $1.79
$5.97/3 = $1.99
$7.95/5 = $1.59
$8.34/6 = $1.39

The fourth ad, $8.34 for 6 cans results in the lowest price per can, $1.39.
The fourth ad is the best buy.
