When someone uses the word dog and you understand the word to mean "a mangy, dirty, and disgusting animal, like the one that bit you when you were five years old," which level of meaning would you probably be applying?

answer:

A: 6x − 3y = −4

B: −4x − y = 5

To solve this system of equations by elimination, what could you multiply each equation by to cancel out the y-variable? Please help.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Clark can cut the wire into 10 pieces.

Part B

This means of wire can be divided in 10 pieces each of

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of wire =

Length of each piece the wire is being cut into =

Part A

Number of pieces the wire can be cut into =

⇒

In order to divide fractions we will first convert the mixed numbers to fraction.

⇒

⇒

Then we take reciprocal of divisor to change division to multiplication.

⇒

⇒

⇒ pieces

So, Clark can cut the wire into 10 pieces.

Part B

The quotient of and is

This means of wire can be divided into 10 pieces each of
