What part of comparing number values do you not understand? Most folks figure out enough about place value to be able to answer this by 3rd grade. If there's something about this question that really stumps you, please advise in the comments.
The cost equation has a constant rate of change, so this is a line of the form:
y=mx+b, you are told that there is a flat fee of $5 and an hourly rate of $2 so
y=2x+5
The y-intercept (the value of y when x=0) is 5. The point (0,5) on the line.
Answer:
(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure if you meant the first equation to be y or -y. I solved it as y.
y = x-5 -x -3y =7
I am going to take the second equation and write it as x =
-x - 3y = 7 Give equation
-x = 3y +7 Add 3y to both sides
x = -3y-7 Multiplied each term in the equation by -1 so that x could be positive
I am going to substitute -3y-7 for x in the first equation up above
y = x - 5
y = -3y -7 - 5 Substitute -3y-7 for x
y = -3y -12 Combined -7-5
4y = -12 Added 3y to both sides
y = -3 Divided both sides by 4.
I now know that y is -3, I will plug that into x = -3y-7 to solve for x
x = -3(-3) -7
x = 9-7 A negative times a negative is a positive
x = 2
