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

Determine whether the lines are parallel, intersect, or coincide. x-5y=0, y+1=1/5(x+5)
MAXImum [283]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The lines are two </em><em>coinciding lines</em><em> or the </em><em>same lines</em><em>.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

The given line equations are

the first one,

\Rightarrow x-5y=0  

the second one,

\Rightarrow y+1=\dfrac{1}{5}(x+5)\\\\\Rightarrow 5y+5=x+5\\\\\Rightarrow 5y=x\\\\\Rightarrow x-5y=0

As we know two line equations A_1x+B_1y+C_1=0 and A_2x+B_2y+C_2=0 will be,

  1. Parallel if, \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}
  2. Coincide if, \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}=\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}
  3. Intersect if, \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq \dfrac{B_1}{B_2}

As here,

\Rightarrow \dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}=\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{1}=\dfrac{-5}{-5}

(C₁ and C₂ aren't considered as they are 0)

Therefore, the lines are two coinciding lines or the same lines.
