Simultaneous equations with fractions 2014-04-19
From Maryam:
I looked at your example of simultaneous equations with fractions and applied it to my question from an educate exam papers but I couldn't get it to work. The question is:

x/8 - y = -5/2
3x + y/3 = 13

Linear equations 2011-10-06
From Hannah:
I am confused about a question on my homework, here is an example on what I need to do:

You own a sightseeing boat tour. Kids' admission costs $5, adults' admission costs $8. During that day you get (made-up number) $521 with 71 admissions. How many of each passenger boarded?

I tried something like
5x + 8y = 521
x + y = 71

But, I still don't understand how to solve it! Help?

From Rose:
I have been having trouble trying to figure out these three math problems , I need help breaking them down so I could understand them better please help.
1. x = 7 - x
2 x - y + 8

2. 8 x + 5 y = 1 8 4
x - y = 3

3. y + 2 x = 3
y + 2 x = 4

I can't figure out how to break them down in the right order.

Linear systems 2008-01-10
From Sandra:
I have two questions. Please solve both. Thank you.

1.) In your chemistry class, you have a bottle of 5% boric acid solution and a bottle of 2% boric acid solution. You need 60 milliliters of a 3% boric acid for an experiment. How much of each solution do you need to mix them together?

2.) You plant a 14-inch hemlock tree in your backyard that grows at a rate of 4 inches per year and an 8 inch blue spruce that grows at a rate of 6 inches per year. In how many years after you plant the trees will the trees be the same height? How tall will each tree be? Thank you. I did not understand neither problem, so I could not show any work. Please help.
