That's also known as the addition method.
   x + y = 40
.08x+.03y=1.7
We need to multiply the top equation by either a -.08 or a -.03 to eliminate one of the variables.  Let's get rid of the y:
-.03(x + y) = -.03(40) which gives us

-.03x - .03y = -1.2
 .08x + .03y = 1.7
When we add those together we are left with .05x = .5 and x = 10.  If we sub that 10 in for x into the first equation (either would have worked but the first one is way easier to work with!) we get 10 + y = 40 and y = 30.  So the solution to the system is (10, 30)

What is the value of x? <br><br><br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%20x%20-%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B10%

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4}{5} x - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 5 and 10 ) to clear the fractions

8x - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )

8x = 4 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}

Gilbert is baking cookies and brownies for a bake sale. It costs him $3 for every batch of cookies he makes and $4 for every bat
Brilliant_brown [7]
Let c=the number of batches for the cookies; b=that for the brownies.
If $P=the profit, then
maximize P=5c+4.5b, subject to the constaints:
3c+4b<=100 (cost)
2c+b<=45 (time)
b,c >=0
The simplest way to find the suitable b & c is
to solve
3c+4b=100
2c+b=45
for b & c
The result is b=13 & c=16
=>
max. p=5(16)+4.5(13)=$138.5

Hope this helps :)

Question 2
kari74 [83]

Answer:

7:55 am

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the time needed to leave, add up all of the elapsed time and subtract that from the 8:50 departure time. The 10 minutes from walking to the platform puts us at 8:40 am, 30 minutes to reach the station puts us at 8:10 am, and the extra 15 minutes gives a time of 7:55 am.
