Answer:
(16/3,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
- y=-3/4x & y=3/2x -12
- then solve for x which means -3/4x=3/2x-12
- then the value of x=16/3
- put the x value in one equation
- y=3/4(16/3)
- then the value of y=-4
$40 sign up + ($2 monthly fee x 19)
$40 + $38
=$78
The answer is letter choice B
D) because the first equation*3-the second equation*;
the left side=0, the right side = 36
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
