Y = 2x - 2

x + 3y = 15

I'll do substitution by solving for y:

y = 2x - 2

Solve for y for the second equation:

y = 5 - x/3

Substitute:

2x - 2 = 5 - x/3

Add x/3 to both sides:

7x/3 - 2 = 5

Add 2:

7x/3 = 7

Multiply by 3:

7x = 21

Divide by 7:

x = 3

Substitute x in for one of the original equations:

y = 2(3) - 2

y = 6 - 2

y = 4

The solution set is (3, 4).

gavmur [86]

3 $\frac{3}{35}$ pound of strawberry

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Pounds of strawberry picked by Lexi =2 $\frac{7}{10}$

Pounds of strawberry eaten by Lexi sister = $\frac{7}{8}$

Unknown:

Pound of strawberry Lexi's sister ate = ?

Solution:

This is a fraction word problem.

Let pound of strawberry eaten by Lexi's sister = K

We can establish that:

Pound of strawberry eaten by Lexi sister x K = Pound of strawberry picked by Lexi

Mathematically we have:

$\frac{7}{8}$ x K = 2 $\frac{7}{10}$

slega [8]

Answer:

They should walk on a bearing of 59.4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$South = 4.2km$

$West = 7.1km$

Required

The bearing back to the base

The given question is illustrated with the attached image.

To do this, we simply calculate the measure of angle a using:

$\tan(a) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

$\tan(a) = \frac{7.1}{4,2}$

$\tan(a) = 1.6905$

Take arctan of both sides

$a = \tan^{-1}(1.6905)$

$a = 59.4^o$
