Rearranging the first equation gives:

Substituting this into the other equation gives:

If x=-1:

So
x=-1, y=-5

We know that
4 3/4---------> (4*4+3)/4----------> 19/4
1 1/10-----------> (10*1+1)/10----> 11/10
[pounds left]=[(19/4)-(11/10)-(2)]----> (10*19-4*11-40*2)/40
=(190-44-80)/40-------> 66/40---------> 1.65 pounds
1.65-----> 1 65/100--------> 1 13/20 pounds
the answer is 1.65 pounds (1 13/20 pounds)
Answer:
The 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it takes electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision, to determine how many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job the following calculation must be performed:
36/32 = X
1.125 = X
1 = 24
0.125 = X
0.125 x 24 = X
3 = X
Therefore, the 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.
