Answer:

x=5, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 2y from both sides of x+2y to get x=9-2y

2) Substitute x into the first equation to get 3(9-2y)-2y=11

3) Solve for y (y=2)

4) Plug y into either equation: x+2(2)=9 x=5

5) The answer is (5, 2)

Emil starts the day with <u>16 liters</u> of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}$

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3$
