answer is (-7,2)
y = -x -5
y= x+9
Both equations have y on the left hand side
So we equate both equations
We replace -x-5 for y in the second equation
-x -5 = x+9
Subtract x on both sides
-2x -5 = 9
Now add 5 on both sides
-2x = 14
Divide by -2 from both sides
x = -7
Now plug in -7 for x in the first equation
y = -x -5
y = -(-7) -5= 7-5 = 2
So answer is (-7,2)
Triangular number sequnce
Answer:
Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that
when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.
Let's set this equation:
y=kx
Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.
The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).
We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k. (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).
So we have:
30000=k(1500)
300 =k(15) I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.
Now divide both sides by 15:
300/15=k
Simplify:
20=k
So the equation to use the answer the question is
y=20x
where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.
So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.
So replace x with 2375:
y=20(2375)
y=47500
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 + 3/7
the least common denominator is 35 because 14/35 + 15/35.
