A machine can perform 40 identical tasks in 4 hours. At this rate, what is the minimum number of machines that should be assigned to complete 90 of the tasks within 2 hours?
5 The key is to find out how many machines are needed to do a certain number of tasks in 2 hours. If one machine can do 40 tasks in 4 hours, in 2 hours it will complete 20 tasks. So, if there are two machines, that is 40 tasks, three is 60 tasks, four is 80 tasks, and five is 100 tasks. Using four machines is not an option as the goal is to do 90 tasks.

If x - 2y = 0 and -2x + y = 2, then 3x -3y =
-2 The correct answer is: - 2. To find the value of 3x - 3y, subtract the equations given. Remember to distribute the negative sign, which will change all the signs in the second equation. x - 2y = 0 - 1 (- 2 + y) = - 1 (2) = 3x - 3y = -2
