Solve the following system of equations:
1 answer:
Answer:
<u><em>(-1,1)</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by either graphing and finding ther point the lines intersect, or mathematically, I'll do both.
<u>Graphing:</u>
<u>Mathematically:</u>
−2x + 4y = 6
y = 2x + 3
See the attached graph. The lines intersect at (-1,1)
--------------------
I'll rearrange the first equation (to make it easier for me):
−2x + 4y = 6
4y = 2x + 6
y = (1/2)x + 1.5
Now lets substitute the second equation into the first so that we can eliminate y:
y = 2x + 3
[(1/2)x + 1.5] = 2x + 3
- (3/2)x = (3/2)
x = -1
If x = -1:
y = 2(-1) + 3
y = 1
The solution is x = -1 and y = 1, or (-1,1)
=================
Both approaches give us (-1,1), the solution to the system of equations. It is the only point that satisfies both equations.

Given, a parking lot charges $3 for first hour and $2 per hour after that.
So for t hours, the parking lot charges $3 for the first hour and after first hour there is hours left.
So for hours it will charge $2 per hour.
The charges for hours = $
.
Total charges for t hours for one car = $
Now for the second car, it will charge 75% of the first car.
So the charges for second car
=$[ ]
=$
There are 3 cars. That parking charges for the third car is also 75% of the first car.
So for third car the parking charges are same as for the second car.
Total parking charges for 3 cars
= $
= $
We have got the required answer here.
The correct option is option C.
