Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y.
<u>The equations are:</u>
<u>Add up the equations to eliminate y and solve for x:</u>
- x - y + 2x + y = 2 + 13
- 3x = 15
- x = 15/3
- x = 5
<u>Now find the value of y:</u>
- y = x - 2
- y = 5 - 2
- y = 3
The three items cost altogether is : 111.32 + 28.75 + 73.21 = 213.28
So, he must work 213.28 : 8.75 = 24.3748571429...
Since if he works 24 hours, he wouldn't have enough money to buy the 3 items, so he must work 24 + 1 = 25 hours.
Recheck : 25 x 8.75 = 218.75 ( > 213.28)
Answer:
X=51/7, Y= -36/7
Step-by-step explanation:
X/3 + 2y/3 = -1 equ 1
X - y/3 = 9 equ 2
eliminate X/3.
X/3 + 2y/3 = -1..... x 1 ( co-efficient of X in equ2 )
X - y/3 = 9 ...... x 1/3 ( co-efficient of X in equ1 )
X/3 + 2y/3 = - 1 equ 3
-
X/3 - y/9 = 3 equ 4
0 + 7y/9 = -4
y = -36/7
( input the value of y into equ 4 )
X/3 -y/9 = 3
X/3 - (-36/7)/9 = 3
X/3 + 36/63 = 3
X/3 = 3 - 36/63
X/3 = 153/63
63X = 459
X = 459/63
X = 51/7.
412 divide by 84 how many times can 84 go into 412
84 can go into 412, 4 times and four time 84 equals
331, then continue dividing 84 into the number you obtain by sutracting the number before and the multiple of 84 and x
your answer will be 4.904
