1) Solve one of the equations for either variable.
2) Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation.
3) Solve the resulting equation.
4) Substitute the solution in Step 3 into one of the original equations to find the other variable.
5) Write the solution as an ordered pair.
Answer:
2000 L
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 1250 L of water in a tank at present. If the tank is 0.625 full, what is the capacity of the tank?
The simple solution is:
1250 L ÷ 0.625 = 2000 L
The algebraic solution is:
Let <em>c</em> equal the capacity of the tank.
Therefore, <em>c</em> × 0.625 = 1250.
Divide both sides by 0.625:
<em>c</em> × 0.625 ÷ 0.625 = 1250 ÷ 0.625
And simplify:
<em>c</em> = 1250 ÷ 0.625
<em>c</em> = 2000
I am assuming you want to solve for m in each case
8n = -3m + 1
8(-2) = -3m + 1
-16 = -3m + 1
-3m = -17
m = 
8(2) = -3m + 1
16 = -3m + 1
-3m = 15
m = -5
8(4) = -3m + 1
32 = -3m + 1
-3m = 31
m = 
Answer:
10 tacos costs $15.00
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use ratio's to solve this type of problem. I will put cost over number of tacos.
$6.00 x dollars
-------- = --------------
4 tacos 10 tacos
Using cross products
6 * 10 = 4 * x
60 = 4x
Divide each side by 4
60/4 = 4x/4
15 =x
10 tacos costs $15.00
The primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19. There are 8 of them, so they make up 40% of the numbers 1–20.
