Let's solve this by substitution.
y is given by the 2nd eqn as y = (1/3)x + 7. Subst. (1/3)x + 7 into the first eqn as a replacement for y: x + 9( (1/3)x + 7) = 3.
clear out fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 3: 3x + 9x + 63 = 3
Combine like terms: 12x = -60. Then x = -5
Find y by subst. -5 for x in the 2nd equation: y = (1/3)(-5) + 7
= -5/3 + 35/3 = 30/3 = 10.
Thus, the solution (x,y) of this system is (-5,10).
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for similar ones
the number of bottles of water remaining as a function of time:
f(x) = -78x + 468
1.3 bottles are sold per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 78 bottles per hour
x = number of hours
the slope is -78
the y intercept is 468
domain = 0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5 hours (from 10 AM to 5:30 PM)
range = 0 ≤ y ≤ 468 bottles
the snack will run out of bottles of water by 4 PM
78x = 468
x = 468 / 78 = 6 hours
if the snack wants to have enough bottles of water to serve all its customers, it will need:
78 x 7.5 hours = 585 bottles of water
Answer:
if you meant x squared the answer is 3x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(x) is equal to 2x you can substitute x squared for f(x) and that would be x squared+x squared+x squared which is 3x^2
The answer is the letter c. 3
