Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

X-3y=6

this is an substitution problem
so first you can do is rewrite the problem by subjection one variable
x=3y+6
then substitute this in the other proble
x+y=2
(3y+6)+y=2
4y+6=2
4y=2-6
4y=-4
y=-1
then substitute the no. in the original equation. 
x=3y+6
x=3(-1)+6
x=-3+6
x=3
now you got the intercepts and you draw the line and check.
it's in the IV quadrant

A square rug covers 79 square feet of floor. What is the approximate length of one side of the rug? (Approximate to the nearest
Mice21 [21]
A = a^2.....where " a " is the length of one side
A = 79

79 = a^2...take sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sqrt 79 = a
8.89 = a

so the length of one side is approximately 8.89 ft <==

How to factorise 5h^2-12hg​
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

h(5h-12g)

Step-by-step explanation:

5h^2-12hg

When we factor expressions, we look for factors within the terms that are alike, or in other words, we look for common factors. Here, 5h^2 and 12hg only have one common factor: h. Therefore, to factorize this expression, divide both terms by h.

= h(\frac{5h^2}{h}-\frac{12hg}{h}  )\\= h(5h-12g)

Now, we've "carried" h out of the expression and have therefore factored it.

I hope this helps!
