Solve this system of equations without graphing. 5x+4y=24 and 2x-8y=36

x= 7

y= -2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a system of equations so you have to use elmination to get a varibale.

I elminiated the y by multipling 5x+4y=24 by 2 and combining the two equations.

So now we are on 12x= 84. solve

x=7

plug it back into any formula, I chose 2x-8y=36 and solve for y

and you get the answer, Voila!

5x + 4y = 24 (-4/5y + 24/5)

2x - 8y = 36 (4y + 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add -4y to both sides 1) 5x + 4y (-4y) = 24 (-4b)

Divide both sides by 5 2) 5x/5 = -4y+24/5

3) x = -4/5y + 24/5

Add 8y to both sides 1) 2x - 8y (8y) = 36 (8y)

Divide both sides by 2 2) 2x/2 = (8y + 36)/2

3) 4y +18

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.

the answer is 13/48
