8x=2y+5
3x=y+7
what is the solution ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: (4.5, 6.5) is your solution

Step-by-step explanation:

You need either the x term or the y term to be the same in both equations so you can eliminate them...

8x=2y+5

6x=2y+14

Now you can subtract the two equations...

2x=9

Divide 9 by 2....

x=4.5 or 4 1/2

Plug in x into one of the original equations to find y...

13.5=y+7

Subtract 7 from 13.5...

6.5=y

What is the area of this rectangle in square yards?

Answers

In the comment of the other answer, you said that the rectangle is 24 x 18 ft.

First, we have to find out how many square feet that is, and then we can convert it to square yards.

The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width.

A = l x w
A = 24 x 18
A = 432 square feet

To find out how many square yards that is, we divide it by 3, because 1 yard is 3 feet.

432 ÷ 3 = 144

The area of a 24x18ft rectangle is 144 square yards.

If the score is 90% and the total is 70 what is the number correct ?

Answers

If you mean that the total number of questions is 70, then:

1. You need to figure out what 90% is of the total, 70.
2. Do this by multiplying 70 by 90% --> 70*(.9)
3. 90% of 70 is 63. The total number correct is 63.

You can check your work by figuring out what percentage 63 is of 70. 63 divided by 70 (63/70) is .9, or 90%.
