He uses one and one third ounces of shampoo per week.
1 1/4x = 3/4
5/4x = 3/4
x = (3/4) / (5/4)
x = 3/4 * 4/5
x = 12/20 which reduces to 3/5
check..
1 1/4 * 3/5 =
5/4 * 3/5 =
15/20 reduces to 3/4
so u would multiply 1 1/4 by 3/5 to get 3/4
Well, just solve the equation
-70 =
-70 =
-70 - 2 = 36a
a = -72/36 = -2
Answer:
x=7 and y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step: Solve x−3y=−2 for x:
x−3y=−2
x−3y+3y=−2+3y(Add 3y to both sides)
x=3y−2
Step: Substitute3y−2for x in x+3y=16:
x+3y=16
3y−2+3y=16
6y−2=16(Simplify both sides of the equation)
6y−2+2=16+2(Add 2 to both sides)
6y=18
6y
6
=
18
6
(Divide both sides by 6)
y=3
Step: Substitute3foryinx=3y−2:
x=3y−2
x=(3)(3)−2
x=7(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=7 and y=3
