To solve this system of linear equations we need a little trick called elimination steps are below
we are given the following system of equations


if you look at the x variables in both equations you can see that we can easily eliminate them by multiplying the bottom equation by -4 as so


simplify and we get


now we can combine like terms on each side with the x's cancelling and get

now divide off -35

great now we can go back to our original system and pick a equation and substitute y back in to find x lets use

so now we substitute y and get




now we put x and y into one coordinate (x,y)
so now our FINAL ANSWER IS
(-17,-1)
You have to choose

ways to do it.
2000 + 1500g ≤ 15000
1500g ≤ 15000 - 2000
1500g ≤ 13000
g ≤ 13000/1500
g ≤ 8 2/3
Therefore, the crane can safely lift a maximum of 8 2/3 cubic meters of gravel.
Craig has every 13th night and Edie has every 5th night off.
You have to find LCM - the Least Common Multiple that is the smallest ("least") number that both 13 and 5 will divide into.
Since numbers 13 and 5 are both prime, then LCM(13,5)=13·5=65.
This means, they will have the same every 65th night off.
R = rate for the lawn sprinkler
rate of lawn sprinklerand hose would be 5 minutes /r ( rate per minute)
we would then want to add that to the ratio of the lawn sprinkler and hose together together which would be 5 minutes for both / 8 minutes for hose
we want to add those together to equal 100 percent, which can also be written as 1
so the correct equation would be B) 5/8 + 5/r = 1
