Answer: the system of equations that represents this situation are
12x + 6y = 180
x = 2y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hardcover books that were sold in a day.
Let y represent the number of paperback books that were sold in a day.
The discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The total sales that day were $180. It means that
12x + 6y = 180
The number of hardcover books sold that day was twice the number of paperback books. It means that
x = 2y
Just divide 30 by 6 and you get b=5
Answer: x=-10, y=13
Step-by-step explanation:
+2y-2y = 0, eliminating y is much easier. So -3x-5x = -8x and 56+24 = 80
Substitute x in any equations but only 1 equation (Don't substitute in both equations.)
For me, I'd substitute x in -3x+2y=50
So the answer is x = -10, y = 13
Answer:
40(1.25-t)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 components to consider; time, speed and distance
Time and Speed are given.
The distance has to be calculated.
- Speed to work = 55 miles per hour
- Time to work = 1.25-T
- Speed to home = 40 miles per hour
- Time to home = 1.25-t
- Total Time = T + t = 1.25
<u>Distance for trip to home</u>
Speed = Distance/Time
40 = Total Distance/1.25-t
Total Distance = 40(1.25-t)
<em>Therefore, 40(1.25-t) is the correct answer.</em>
