Answer:// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] y = 2x - 3

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]

[2] -2•(2x-3) + 2x = 2

[2] - 2x = -4

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] 2x = 4

[2] x = 2

// By now we know this much :// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] y = 2x - 3

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]

[2] -2•(2x-3) + 2x = 2

[2] - 2x = -4

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] 2x = 4

[2] x = 2

// By now we know this much :

y = 2x-3

x = 2

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(2)-3 = 1

y = 2x-3

x = 2

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(2)-3 = 1

Franklin saved money to buy art supplies

Nikolay [14]

<u>Question</u>:

Franklin saved money to buy art supplies. He used 1/5 of his savings to buy brushes. He used 1/2 of his savings to buy paint. What fraction of his savings does he have remaining?

Answer:

Franklin had $\frac{3}{10}$ of his saving left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount used to buy brushes = 1/5

Amount used to buy paint = 1/2

Solution:

Let the remaining amount be x

then ,

x = 1- (amount used on buying brushes + amount used for buying paints)

$x = 1- (\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{2})$

$x = 1- (\frac{2+5}{10})$

$x = 1- (\frac{7}{10})$

$x =\frac{10-7}{10}$

$x =\frac{3}{10}$

Lucie drank 3/4 of a pint of bottled water. One serving of the water is 7/8 of a pint. How much of a serving did she drink.

attashe74 [19]

7/8
3/4
I'm order for them to have the same denominator you need to multiply so:
¾×2=6/8
So she drank 6/8 pints of water
