Answer:
none
Step-by-step explanation:
8-4=4
if every 2 years, 4 gallons disappear
then every 1 year, 2 gallons disappear
meaning that by 5 years there will be no substance left.
(5*2=10)
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Assign x for the number. Write an equation.
2x = 6+.5x (I'm guessing you means "6 more than half that number")
1.5x = 6 -->
x = 4
Answer:
x = -12
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
i used substitution and let 'x' = 10 - 2y
3(10 - 2y) + 4y = 8
30 - 6y + 4y = 8
30 -2y = 8
-2y = -22
y = 11
x + 2(11) = 10
x + 22 = 10
x = -12
You can solve <span>9/x-4/y=8 for x or for y but NOT at the same time.
Solving for x: </span><span>9/x-4/y=8 Mult all 3 terms by xy to eliminate the fractions.
9(xy)/x - 4xy/y = 8xy => 9y - 4x = 8xy, or 9y = 4x + 8xy = 4x(1+2y)
then 9y = x [ 4(1+2y) ]
9y
therefore x = ------------
4(1+2y)
Solve for y using a similar approach.
