One way of solving systems of linear equations is by adding a multiple of one equation to the other. The multiplier for the first equation is chosen so that one of the two variables will cancel out in the sum. What should you multiply the equation y=0 y=0 by so that when added to x+y=40 x+y=40 the variable y yy will cancel out?

answer:

125 yards

explanation:

75+50=125. that is my answer

-3.5 degrees per hour

step-by-step explanation:

find the unit rate:

-12   1/4 degrees           12.25 degrees

= - = -3.5 degrees per hour

      3   1/2 hours               3.5 hours

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
