Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If you would like to know how much dried fruit did James buy, you can calculate this using the following steps:

5/12 of a pound of dried cherries + 1/3 of a pound of dried cranberries = 5/12 + 1/3 = 5/12 + 4/12 = 9/12 = 3/4 of a pound of dried fruit

The correct result would be 3/4 of a pound of dried fruit.

A student is trying to solve the set of two equations given below:Equation A: x + z = 6
Equation B: 2x + 3z = 1

Which of the following is a possible step used in eliminating the z-term? (5 points)


Multiply equation B by 3.
Multiply equation A by 2.
Multiply equation B by 2.
Multiply equation A by –3.

Answers

Equation A : x + z = 6
Equation B : 2x + 3z = 1

Possible step used in eliminating in  z-term.

Multiply equation A by -3.

-3(x +z) = -3(6)
-3x - 3z = -18

-3x - 3z = -18
 2x + 3z =   1
-x           = -17
÷ -1           ÷ -1
x             = 17
