Answer:

  (C)  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.

<h3>Solution</h3>

The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.

  (2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)

  4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify

  b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.

Allegra has a cell-phone plan that charges $65 per month and $0.10 for every minute that she uses the phone beyond what her plan
Bond [772]
It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
     8.40 = 0.10m
       84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.

A public health department charges $25.00 for a flu shot.The vaccine costs $0.78 per shot, a syringe costs $0.51, and the labor
AlladinOne [14]

The cost of a single shot is

.78 +.52 +.96 = 2.26

they charge 25 a shot

25 - 2.26 = 22.74

there is a profit of 22.74 per shot

22.74 * 167 =3797.58

They make $3797.58
