Answer:
a = 5 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b+b = 24
a + 2b = 24
b-a =4
a = b - 4
b - 4 + 2b = 24
3b = 24 + 4
b =28/3
substitute this in a = b - 4
a = 28/3 - 4
a = 28/3 - 12/3
a = 16/3
a = 5 1/3
Ok this inequality tells you the number of devices you can have before the new plan costs more than the old plan. The new plan expression is $4.50x + $94m = y ( total cost). The old plan is $175m = y (total cost). You can see m (number of months) in both equations, you don't need it this time since we're going to to compare both to one month. Since they're both equal to y you can make them equal to each other. $4.50x + $94 = $175. Now you want to figure when the new plan is less than the old plan you switch the equal sign for a less than sign. $4.50x + $94 < $175; this will help you find the inequality you want. From there just use algebraic steps to find that x has to less than 18 or
x < 18.
The question is incomplete.
This is the complete question as I found in internet:
<span>Use substitution to determine which of the following points is a solution to the standard form equation below 5x-2y = 10
these are the points:
</span>
-1,5
1,5
0,-5
0,5
Answer: (0, -5)
Explanation:
point x y 5x - 2y = 10 ?
-1,5 -1 5 5(-1) - 2(5) = - 5 - 10 = - 15 ≠ 10 ⇒ not a solution
1,5 1 5 5(1) - 2(5) = 5 - 10 = 5 ≠ 10 ⇒ not a solution
0,-5 0 -5 0 -2(-5) = 10 ⇒ a solution
0,5 0 5 0 - 2(5) = - 10 ≠ 10 ⇒ not a solution
Remark
I don't know exactly what level you are in, but the obvious factors are
y = 2x*(x^3 + 11x + 30)
This gives one more factor somewhere around x = -11.3 . Notice that the minimum is around - 3000 or so. I don't think anyone is going to try and take this any further. My calculator figures out cubics and gives an answer of -11.23. There are two other roots but they are a complex pair.
Answer
factor 1: 2x
factor 2: x^3 + 11x^2 + 30
Answer:
infinite: 4x + 14 = 2(2x+7)
none: 4x + 13 = 4x - 13
