The substitution method means you replace the variable in one equation with the other equation, so your new equation is x+4x-8=10. Add 10 to both sides to get 5x=18. Divide both sides by 5 to get x=3.6. This is a weird equation, but then to get y, work backwords. 3.6 times 2=7.2. 7.2-4=3.2 y=3.2. Finally to finish checking solve the equation as normal. 3.6+6.4=10. I hope this helped! Please give brainliest!
Your final answer is x=3.6 y=3.2
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..

Answer:
Temperature after 1 minute = 184 ° F
Step-by-step explanation:
starting temperature = 200 °F
rate of decrease = 8% per minute
Temperature lost = 8% of 200 = 8/100 × 200 = 0.08 × 200 = 16 °F
It therefore means that after 1 minute, the cup of coffee loses 16 °F,
∴ Temperature after 1 minute = (starting temperature) - (lost temperature)
= 200 - 16 = 184 °F
