-5x+3y=15 and 2x-3y= -15

x = 0; y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 3y = 15

2x - 3y = -15

Add the equations to eliminate y.

3x = 0

x = 0

Now plug in 0 for x in the first equation to solve for y.

-5(0) + 3y = 15

3y = 15

y = 5

x = 0; y = 5

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
