Similarities: same atomic number
Differences: they have a different number of neutrons
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=2------------1
-3x+5y=5-----------2
adding 1 and 2 we get
7y=7
y=1
and from (1),we get
3x+2×1=2
3x=0
x=0 is the required value of x.
For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

To solve we follow the steps below:
We multiply the second equation by -3:

Thus, we have the equivalent system:

We add the equations:

We look for the value of the variable "y":

Thus, the solution of the system is given by:

Answer:

Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees
We know from the problem that
f + p = 21 and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation
so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree
substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree

Answer is the ratio 1000:193:61</h3>
Explanation
1 liter = 1000 mL
For every 1000 mL of water, we need 193 mL of sucrose and 61 mL of saline solution.
The ratio is therefore 1000:193:61
We cannot simplify this ratio any further because the GCF of those three terms is 1.
A quick way to see this is to look at how 1000 = (2*5)^3 has prime factors 2 and 5, but 2 nor 5 are factors of 193 and 61. So only 1 is a factor of all three values 1000, 193, 61
