Solve for x in -7x - 8y = 9

x = -9 + 8y/7

Substitute x = -9 + 8y/7 into -4x + 9y = -22

4(9 + 8y)/7 + 9y = -22

Solve for y in 4(9 + 8y)/7 + 9y = -22

y = -2

Substitute y = -2 into x = -9 + 8y/7

x = 1

Thus,

<u>x = 1</u>

<u>y = -2</u>

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 16, z has the value 0.875. What is the value of z when x= 21?
ziro4ka [17]
For z and x to be inversely proportional, there must be some constant k such that

zx=k

Given that z=0.875 when x=16, it follows that

0.875\cdot16=k\implies k=14

Then when x=21, we have

21z=14\implies z=\dfrac{14}{21}=\approx0.667

Nathan needs to sell at least 75 t shirts to get a bonus he already has sold 15 red tye dye shirts and 23 solid blue ones how ma
AnnyKZ [126]

Red shirts and blue shirts equally count to his bonus, so he has 15 + 23 = 38 shirts sold at this moment. He needs to sell 75 shirts for the bonus. We subtract our goal from what he have; 75 - 38 = 37.


The strategy here: subtract the goal (75 shirts) from what you did to get to the goal (15 shirts and 23 shirts).


Nathan needs to sell 37 more shirts for the bonus. Hope this helps.
