Use subtitution method to solve the problem.
First, change y to the value of x in order to find the exact value of x.
x + y = 4
y = 4 - x
Second, subtitute y with 4 - x from the first equation
y = -x² + 2x + 4
4 - x = -x² + 2x + 4
move all terms to the left side
x² - 2x - x + 4 - 4 = 0
x² - 3x = 0
x(x - 3) = 0
x = 0 or x = 3
Third, now we have 2 values of x. Find the value of y for each of x
For x = 0
y = 4 - x
y = 4 - 0
y = 4
For x = 3
y = 4 - x
y = 4 - 3
y = 1
The solution is (0,4) and (3,1). The answer is option b
Answer:
x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m < b = 76
Step-by-step explanation:
Because b is directly across from the 76 degree angle, that makes them vertical angles, which means they are the same degree I believe.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8b-4b+8-3=4b+5
4b=-5
b=-5/4=1 1/4
We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
