Let x = the first number
      y = the second number
-------------------------------------
First: set up the equations.

Four times a first number: 4x
Decreased by a second number: - y
Is 4: = 4

4x - y = 4.

The first number increased by: x + 
three times the second number: 3y
is -25: = -25

x + 3y = -25.
------------------------
You can make your system of equations now.

4x - y = 4
x + 3y = -25

I would use substitution to solve these.

To do substitution, isolate a variable first, in one of the equations. I would probably isolate x in the second equation.

x + 3y = -25
x = -25 - 3y

Now, you can substitute -25 - 3y into 4x - y = 4, as x.

4x - y = 4
4(-25 - 3y) - y = 4

Now just solve for y.

-100 - 12y - y = 4
-13y = 104
y = -8

Now, you can put -8 as y into one of the original equations, I'll just use 4x - y = 4.

4x -  y = 4
4x - (-8) = 4
4x + 8 = 4
4x = -4
x = -1

So the first number is -1, and the second -2.

let x be 1st no. and y be the 2nd no.

so 4x - y = 4

and x + 3y = -25

re-arrange first eqn y = 4x - 4

substitute y into second eqn

x + 3(4x - 4) = -25

13x - 12 = -25

13x = -13

x = -1

y = 4(-1 - 1) = -8

Answer:

1) Inequality: 110x>150+85x

2) Solution: x>6, then Nadia would need to sell more than 6 ads per week in order for Choice A to be the better choice,


<u>Solution:</u>

Be x the number of ads Nadia sells

A) Choice A: $110 for each ad she sells. She would earn:

Ea=110x

B) Choice B: A weekly salary of $150, plus $85 for each ad she sells. She would earn:

Eb=150+85x

1) Write an inequality to determine the number of ads Nadia would need to seel per week in order for Choice A to be the better choice:

Ea>Eb

110x>150+85x

2) Solution

Solving for x: Subtracting 85x both sides of the equation:

110x-85x>150+85x-85x

Subtracting:

25x>150

Dividing both sides of the equation by 25:

25x/25>150/25

Dividing:

x>6

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion. The ratio number of gray mice corresponds (is across from) the total number of gray mice (24)

5/2 = x/24                            Cross multliply

2*x = 5*24                            Multiply 5 by 24

2x = 120                               Divide by 2

x = 120/2

x = 60 Which represents the number of white mice.

So the white mice + gray mice = 60 + 24 = 84

Need help asap pllzzz will give brainliest
Greeley [361]

Answer:

d. $350.00

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant is a number that does not have any variables. The additional cost would depend on the number of persons at attendance so the cost would be $10.00p which is not the constant here. Thus, $350.00 is the only constant in this situation.
