Answer:
12.3 feet of chain is your answer.
It would probably be B because it said between -30 and 130
First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.
1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6
2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2
Now elimination part is easier.
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.
x + 3y = -6
-(x - y = 2)
----------------------
4y = -8
Solve for 'y'
4y = -8
y = (-8)/4 = -2
Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0
Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
Answer:
18.75 gallons of ice
Step-by-step explanation:
I divided the 2.5 gallons of ice by the number of buckets (4) it filled to determine how many gallons of ice are in each bucket.
2.5 / 4 = 0.625
I then multiplied the amount of ice it takes to fill a bucket (0.625) by 30 buckets to get 18.75 gallons of ice.
