Using substitution:
4x+2y=12
y=8x+1
4x+2(8x+1)=12
distribute
4x+16x+2=12
combine like terms
18x+2=12
subtract 2 from both sides
20x=10
divide each side by 20
x=10/20
reduce
x=1/2
plug in x for the y= equation
y=8(1/2)+1
multiply
y=4+1
add
y=5
answer:
(1/2,5)
A negative minus a negative is always a positive ;)
Answer:
charges for the first hour = $7.55
charges for each additional hour = $1.55
c = 1.55h + 7.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = charges for the first hour
y = charges for each additional hour
x + 2y = 10.65 (1)
x + 5y = 15.30 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
5y - 2y = 15.30 - 10.65
3y = 4.65
y = 4.65/3
= 1.55
y = $1.55
Substitute y = 1.55 into
x + 2y = 10.65
x + 2(1.55) = 10.65
x + 3.10 = 10.65
x = 10.65 - 3.10
= 7.55
x = $7.55
c = 1.55h + 7.55
I'm confused too but that what i got
