-8y + 9x = -5
8y + 7x = -75 +
--------------------------
/ 16x = -80
x = -80/16
x = -5
8y + 7x = -75
8y - 35 = -75
8y = -75 + 35
8y = -40
y = -40/8
y = -5
Answer : x = y = -5
Ummmm........ do you still need help?
Answer:
17.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, round the two. umbers to the nearest the th, or the first number past the decimal. 19.28 rounds to 19.3 (round up because 8 is bigger than 5) and 1.546 rounds to 1.5 (round down because 4 is smaller than 5). Then subtract. 19.3 - 1.5 = 17.8
Let's say the number of days library book is late is X, and the total fee is Y.
Liability charges $0.30 dollars as a fee for being 1 day late,
For being 1 day late, fee charge is: 1* $0.30
So, for X days the charge would be: X*$0.30.
Total charge for being X days late is Y, Which means: Y= 0.30 * X.
Now We would have to check all the viable solutions in the answer to see if they satisfy the equation Y= 0.30 * X
Option
one(-3, -0.9) and two (-2.5, -0.75) Would not be a viable solution
because the value of number of days can not be negative and in option
one and two, value of days -3 and -2.5 is negative.
Option
three(4.5, 1.35) can not be correct because library charges fee for a
full day so the number for days would be a whole number. Library would
not charge for 4.5 days, they would either charge of 4 days or 5 days
because 4.5 is not an whole number.
Option four(8, 2.40) is the correct answer because it satisfies our equation;
Y= 0.30 * X
2.40= 0.30 * 8
2.40 = 2.40.
Fourth option (8, 2.40) is the only viable solution to this question.
