Yarrr maths.....very tough subject
-2x + 6y = -34
-x + 3y = -17
x = 3y +17
Sub this into 1st eqn
5(3y + 17) + 2y = 21
15y + 85 + 2y =21
17y = -64
y = -3.7647 (to 5 sig. fig.)
y = -3.8 (to nearest tenth)
Sub y = -3.7647 into 2nd eqn
x = 3(-3.7647) +17
x = 5.7 (to nearest tenth)

Answer: 280</h3>
Work Shown:
x = number of students in the 6th grade class
30% = 30/100 = 0.30
30% of x = 0.30x this is equal to 84 since "30% of the 6th graders are boys (and there are 84 boys in sixth grade)", so we say 0.30x = 84
Divide both sides by 0.30 to isolate x
0.30x = 84
0.30x/0.30 = 84/0.30
x = 280
So there are 280 students overall in the 6th grade class.
Answer:
8 Km
Step-by-step explanation:
16 x 50000 = 800,000 cm

8,000 m = 8 km
I hope this helps, if not sorry
If 1/6 of the bags of pet food are cat food, then the other 5/6 is other pet food.
Since there are 4 bags that make up 1/6 of the food, multiplying 4 by 6 should get the answer. 4 x 6 = 24
