Answer:
b=30
a=120
c=50 these is how I figure it out
I assume this is the intersection of two lines, i.e. -1/2y is (-1/2)y. Please tell me if it's really -1/(2y).
(-1/2)y=(1/2)x+5
Multiplying both sides by -2
y = - x - 10
The other equation is
y = 2x + 2
We can equate them to find the meet
y = - x - 10 = 2x + 2
-3x = 12
x = -4
y = 2x + 2 = -6
Check: (-1/2)y=3, (1/2)x+5=3, equal, good
2x+2=2(-4)+2=-6=y, good
Answer: x=-4, y=-6
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of yards of fabric for the shawl = 2 1/2
Amount of yards of fabric for the dress = 1 3/4
Total amount of yards needed
= 2 1/2 + 1 3/4
= 2 2/4 + 1 3/4
= 3 5/4
= 3 + 1 1/4
= 4 1/4
Since she has 3 yards of fabric, the number of yards needed more will be:
= 4 1/4 - 3
= 1 1/4
If each yard = 7.98, the amount needed will be:
= 1 1/4 × 7.98
= 1.25 × 7.98
= 9.975
