Answer: (-3,5)

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Set 1 equation equal to y

3y-2x=21

3y=2x+21

y=2/3x+7

2. Set the other equation equal to y

4y+5x=5

4y=-5x+5

y=-5/4x+5/4

3. Set the equations equal to each other, and solve for x

2/3x+7=-5/4x+5/4

2/3x+23/4=-5/4x

(Multiply by 12 on both sides to get rid of fractions)

8x+69=-15x

8x=-15x-69

23x=-69

x=-3

4. Solve for y

(Choose any of the equations)

y=2/3x+7

y=2/3(-3)+7

y=-2+7

y=5

A. 26 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

change denominator so they can be the same

3/4*3 = 9/12

1/3*4 = 4/12

Add the whole numbers : 10 +15=25

9/12+4/12= 13/12 so 1 1/12

Casey paid $32 for a book that was on a sale at 20% off. What was the original price for that book?

Elis [28]

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

If it was 20% off, you are paying 80% of the original price.

So .80 * Original price = $32

32/.8 = 40

Arthur has decided to start saving for a new computer. His money is currently in a piggy bank at home, modeled by the function s

Leya [2.2K]

Two or more independent functions (say f(x) and g(x)) can be combined to generate a new function (say g(x)) using any of the following approach.

$h(x) = f(x) + g(x)$ $h(x) = f(x) - g(x)$

$h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ $h(x) = f(g(x))$

And many more.

The approach or formula to use depends on the question.

In this case, the combined function is:

$f(x) = 75+ 10x$

The savings function is given as

$s(x) = 85$

The allowance function is given as:

$a(x) = 10(x - 1)$

The new function that combined his savings and his allowances is calculated as:

$f(x) = s(x) + a(x)$

Substitute values for s(x) and a(x)

$f(x) = 85 + 10(x - 1)$

Open bracket

$f(x) = 85 + 10x - 10$

Collect like terms

$f(x) = 85 - 10+ 10x$

$f(x) = 75+ 10x$
