Answer:

x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

You simply write down what you see:

3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17

2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9

Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:

7x - 9y = 17

5x - 8y = 9

Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:

35x - 45y = 85

-35x + 56y = -63

-------------------------+ now we can add them:

11y = 22 divide by -11

y = 2

So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5

Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:

3*5 - 4*2 = 7

4*5 - 5*2 = 10

7+10 = 17: ok!

2*5 - 3*2 = 4

3*5 - 5*2 = 5

4+5 = 9: ok!

$\frac{19}{6}$ many more miles of road are left to build .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A construction crew must build 4 miles of road in one week. On Monday, they build 1/2 mile of road. On Tuesday, they build 1/3 mile of road. We need to find that How many more miles of road are left to build . Let's find out:

On Monday, they build 1/2 mile of road.
On Tuesday, they build 1/3 mile of road.

Let Miles of road left to build is x So,

⇒ $\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} +x = 4$

⇒ $x = 4 - (\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3})$

⇒ $x = 4 - (\frac{1(3)+1(2)}{6} )$

⇒ $x = 4 - (\frac{5}{6} )$

⇒ $x = (\frac{4(6)-5}{6} )$

⇒ $x = \frac{24-5}{6}$

⇒ $x = \frac{19}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{19}{6}$ many more miles of road are left to build .

forsale [732]

First, you would need to multiply 25×3 since each student gets 3 markers, which equals out to 75 markers total. Then, you must divide since each pack has 8 markers, resulting in 75÷8= 9.375

The answer is 10 packages of markers.

Hope this helped.
