Answer:
x = -1 and y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations
y + 8x = 10... 1
2y - 4x = 40 ... 2
From 1; y = 10-8x
Substitute into 2;
2(10-8x) - 4x = 40
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40
-20x = 40 - 20
-20x = 20
x = -1
Recall that y = 10-8x
y = 10 - 8(-1)
y = 10 + 8
y = 18
therefore your answer is x = -1 and y = 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
children=c
adults=a
c+a=359
a=359-c
2.75c+6a=1621
2.75 c+6(359-c)=1621
2.75 c+2154-6c=1621
-3.25 c=1621-2154
-3.25 c=-533
Answer:
yes I can
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Width = 80 ft and length = 85 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x ft then the length is x+5 ft.
width * length = area, so
x * (x + 5) = 6800
x^2 + 5x - 6800 = 0
( x - 80)(x + 85) = 0
x = 80, -85
We ignore the negative so x = 80 ft.
Width = 80 and length = 80+5 = 85 ft.
Just add the like terms together.
