Not sure if your trying to solve for x or v
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 13y = 232
12x + 7y = 218
For each choice:
a) The first equation can be multiplied by –13 and the second equation by 7 to eliminate y. So we have
- 65x - 169y = - 3016
84x + 49y = 1526
Can not eliminate x and y.
b) The first equation can be multiplied by 7 and the second equation by 13 to eliminate y. So we have
35x + 91 y = 1624
156x + 91y = 2834
Can not eliminate x and y if we ADD.
<em>(If we subtract, this is Yes)</em>
<em></em>
c) The first equation can be multiplied by –12 and the second equation by 5 to eliminate x.
-60x - 156y = - 2784
60x + 35y = 1090
The answer is YES
d) The first equation can be multiplied by 5 and the second equation by 12 to eliminate x.
25x + 65y = 1160
144x + 84y = 2616
Can not eliminate x and y
The final answer is C
Answer: For every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is and
There are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of cans of red paint = 14
Number of cans of yellow paint = 12
According to question, we have to find that for every 1 can of red paint the painter uses what number of yellow paints;
Since the ratio of red paint to yellow paint is given by
So, for every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is
Similarly,
If Number of can of red paint is used = 34
So, Number of cans of yellow paint will be
Hence, there are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.
3 times x equals to 646
3x=646
Change percent to decimal which is 0.35 and multiply it by 550 to get 192.5 which is the amount taken off from the original price. So the total price after the discount is 357.5$
