Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-3y+2

-4x-12y=-8

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

-4(-3y+2)-12y=-8

12y-8-12y=-8

-8=-8

infinitely many solutions

If 5(3x-7)=20, then what is 6x-8 ?

Colt1911 [192]

First solve for x in the first equation. So you'll have to substitute,
5(3x-7)=20
15x-35=20
Then add 35 to both sides.
15x=55
Divide 55 by 15.
So x = 3.66...
Then plug in 3.7 for x in 6x-8
6(3.7)-8
Its approximately 14.2

If the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3

horrorfan [7]

Answer: The correct option is (B) 24 : 25.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2 : 3.

We are to find the ratio of the area of R to the area of S.

Let 2x, 3x be the sides of rectangle R and y be the side of square S.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\textup{Perimeter of rectangle R}=\textup{Perimeter of square S}\\\\\Rightarrow2(2x+3x)=2(y+y)\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=2y\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{5}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Therefore, the ratio of the area of R to the area of S is

$\dfrac{2x\times3x}{y\times y}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5x^2}{y^2}\\\\\\=6\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)^2\\\\\\=6\times\left(\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^2~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Using equation (i)}]\\\\\\=\dfrac{24}{25}\\\\=24:25.$

Thus, the required ratio of the area of R to the area of S is 24 : 25.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Costs would be nine dollars for the lemons and four dollars for the sugar ($-13.00). You end up losing only fifty cents throughout, so you would have had to sell (.5×25=12.50) 25 cups to pay for all but fifty cents.

Answer is 25 cups
