Five and three hundred and six thousandths.
Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.
- bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
- after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y
Use substitution method to solve:
5(R - 836) = R
5R - 4180 = R <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>
4R - 4180 = 0 <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>
4R = 4180 <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>
R = 1045 <em>divided both sides by 4</em>
Answer: The answer is that he cleaned one room
Step-by-step explanation:
Because he charged in total 77 dollars and he charged 77 dollars per room, so 77*1=77=c
-7x - 2y = 19
4x + y = -12
Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)
-7x - 2y = 19
8x + 2y = -76
Add equations together
x = -52
Plug x value into an equation
4(-52) + y = -12
Solve for y
-208 + y = -12
y = 196
Hope this helps! ;)
