Solve the system of equations by substitution. 3/8x + 1/3y = 17/24 x + 7y = 8

Using the second equation, let’s find x

x + 7y = 8
x = 8 - 7y

Substitute x in the other equation

3/8(8 - 7y) + 1/3y = 17/24
3 - 21/8y + 1/3y = 17/24
-55/24y = -55/24
y = 1

Plug in y in any equation

x + 7(1) = 8
x + 7 = 8
x = 1

x = 1 and y = 1

Blababa [14]

Answer:

It's 3/2p!

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Helen do the same number of exercises on 2 days, the time to do and the average rate are inversely proportional!

So, if on Monday, Helen's average rate is p then on the next day, her average rate is:

p × 3 ÷ 2 = $\frac{3p}{2}$

=3/2p

If 5<2x+3<11, what is the possible range of value of -4x-6

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

-10 > (-4x - 6) > -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is 5 < 2x + 3 < 11

Now we will multiply this inequality by (-2) resulting,

5(-2) > (2x + 3)(-2) > 11(-2)

-10 > (-4x - 6) > -22 (Sign of inequality gets reversed when the inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number)

Therefore, the possible range of (-4x - 6) is between -22 and -10.
