Algebra.Com's Answer #209840 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! when x=0 y=16 \n" ); document.write( "when y=0 x=80/3=28.8 \n" ); document.write( "so the positive y has to be less than 16 and the positive x has to be less than 29 \n" ); document.write( "3x+5y=80 \n" ); document.write( "x must be a multiple of 5 less than 29 \n" ); document.write( "there are five possible positive integer solutions\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
