Answer:

Number of 12$ Shares? 25

Number of 14$ Shares? 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of $12 shares.

Let y = number of $14 shares.

"Ivan has $1098 worth of $12 and $14 stock shares."
12x + 14y = 1098

The number of $14 shares is seven more than twice the number of $12 shares.

y = 2x + 7

We have a system of equations.

12x + 14y = 1098

y = 2x + 7

We can use the substitution method since the second equation is already solved for y. Substitute 2x + 7 for y in the first equation.

12x + 14(2x + 7) = 1098

12x + 28x + 98 = 1098

40x = 1000

x = 25

There are 25 $12 shares.

y = 2x + 7 = 2(25) + 7 = 57

There are 57 $14 shares.

Check:

25 × $12 + 57 × $1`4 = $300 + $798 = $1098

The total value is correct, so the answer is correct.

I need help solving for y and ploting it in the graph
Ket [755]
Basically y would be whatever the number x is times 2, so -2 to the second power is -4, -1 to the second power is -1, 0 to the second power is 0, 1 to the second power is 1 and 2 to the second power is 4. now all you have to do is graph those points and you’re good!

Can you combine like terms without formally showing the distributive property? Explain.
blsea [12.9K]
Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
