Answer:

There would be 500 passenger cars and 350 trucks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create a system of equations. Start by making the number of passenger cars as x and the number of trucks at y. Now the first equation can be the difference of the two.

x - y = 150

The second equation can make use of the proportion. If we multiply by the opposites we'll get the difference of 0.

7x - 10y = 0

Now we multiply the first equation by -10 and add together to solve for x.

-10x + 10y = -1500

7x - 10y = 0

-------------------

-3x = -1500

x = 500

Now we can find the amount of trucks by using either equation.

x - y = 150

500 - y = 150

-y = -350

y = 350

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P = 150 - T where P is passenger cars and T is trucks

10P = 7T ⇔ P = \frac{7T}{10}

Plug in equation 2 into equation 1:

\frac{7T}{10} = 150 - T

Solving for T, we get 500

Solve equation by completing the square round to the nearest hundredth if necessary <br> X2-4x-=5
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

x=-1 and x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} -4x=5

Solve it by completing the square method

We take the coefficient of x that is -4, divide it by 2 and then square it

so

-\frac{4}{2}=-2

square it

(-2)^2 = 4

Adds 4 both sides

x^{2} -4x+4=5+4

Combine like terms right side

x^{2} -4x+4=9

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-2)^{2}=9

take square root both sides

x-2=\pm3

x=2\pm3

therefore

x=2+3=5

x=2-3=-1
