STEP 1: Multiply second equation by -3.
After multiplying we have the following system:
3x+4y−3x+3y=8=−36
STEP 2: add the two equations together to eliminate x from the system.
7y=−28
STEP 3: find y
<u>y=−4</u>
<u></u>
STEP 4: substitute the value for y into the original equation to solve for x.
3x+4(−4)=8
<u>x=8</u>

Answer:
1.67 m, 8.33 m
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of lengths is 1 : 5, then the ratio of the shortest length to the total is ...
1 : (1+5) = 1 : 6
The shortest length is (10 m)×(1/6) = 1.67 m. The longer length is 10 -1.67 = 8.33 m.
The lengths of the pieces are 8.33 m and 1.67 m.
First, figure out what you do and don't know....
You do know that 3 times the sum of a number and 4 is 18 more than the number....you don't know the number so you make it the variable x
now take 3 times the sum of a number and 4 and make that an expression 3x+4 this expression is the same or equal to the sum of x and 18 x+18
3x+4=x+18
2x+4=18
2x=14
x=7
hope this helped :)
Answer:
14/28
Step-by-step explanation:
14/28 reduces down to 1/2
Cups of flour=15 3/4=15+ 3/4=(4*15+3)/4=63/4
Cups of sugar=10 1/2=(2*10+1)/2=21/2
We solve this problem by rule of 3:
63/4 cups of flour--------------100 people
x------------------------------------ 25 people
x=(63/4 cups of flout * 25 people)/100 people=1575/400 cups of flour=
=63/16=(3*16+15)/16=3 15/16 cups of flour.
21/2 cups of sugar-----------------100 people
x-----------------------------------------25 people
x=(21/2 cups fo sugar * 25 people) / 100 people=525/200 cups of sugar= 21/8 =(2*8+ 5)/8=2 5/8 cups of sugar.
Answer: 3 15/16 cups of flour and 2 5/8 cups of sugar.
