3/4x - 5y = 7 X = -4y + 12 solve by substitution ! show work pls !!

1 answer:

8 0

When using substitution, we are imputing an equation in place of a variable to eliminate one of the variables in the equation so that we can solve for the remaining variable.

For this example, we will be plugging in (-4y+12) wherever "x" is in the other equation.

3/4 x -5y = 7
3/4(-4y+12) -5y =7
((3/4)(-4y))+((3/4)12)-5y=7
-3y+9-5y=7
-8y= -2
y=(1/4)

Now find "x" by plugging in the y-value.
x=(-4*(1/4))+12
x= -1 +12
x=11

any questions? feel free to comment below!

The populations of two cities after t years can be modeled by -150t+50,000 and 50t+75,000 . What is the difference in the popula

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The difference in the populations of the cities when t=4 is 25,800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations each of the city:

-150t+50,000

and

50t+75,000

To find the difference between the population when t=4, we first have to solve both equation when t=4.

For both equations, substitute 4 into t:

-150(4) + 50,000 = 49,400

50(4) + 75,000 = 75,200

Now subtract 49,400 from 75,200 and you get 25,800.

The difference in the populations of the cities when t=4 is 25,800.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation <br><br> x^2-3x+2=0

Flura [38]

Answer:

x= 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ . Here a=1, b=-3, and c=2.

Substitute and you'll have:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{3+/-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(2)} }{2(1)}=\frac{3+/-\sqrt{9-8} }{2)}$

$\frac{3+/-\sqrt{1} }{2}=\frac{3+/-\sqrt{1} }{2}=\frac{3+/-1 }{2}= 2 , 1$

A mechanic bought bolts of three sizes. The smallest bolts cost 15 cents each. The next largest sized bolts cost 20 cents each,

erica [24]

He spent the same amount on each bolt size...so we need to find the lowest common multiple of 0.15, 0.20, and 0.30....and that would be 0.60

so he spent 0.60 on each bolt
