Answer:
{x,y} = {3/7,-43/7}
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] x + 3y = -18
[2] -x + 4y = -25
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
3y + x = -18 4y - x = -25
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = -3y - 18
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] -(-3y-18) + 4y = -25
[2] 7y = -43
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 7y = - 43
[2] y = - 43/7
// By now we know this much :
x = -3y-18
y = -43/7
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -3(-43/7)-18 = 3/7
Solution :
{x,y} = {3/7,-43/7}
Answer:
how many feet of fencing does he have?
\
Step-by-step explanation:
Ron should receive $7.98. Jerry and Steve each worked for 4 hours, while Ron was one hour late, so he worked for 3 hours. Together, they worked for 4*2+3=11 hours, receiving $29.25 in total. Each hour should be paid 29.25/11=2.66 dollars. Ron worked for three hours, so he should receive 3*2.66=7.98 dollars.
Answer:
3.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the frame is 3 times the width.
Let the width be x.
The length will be 3x.
Kyle uses 10 feet of wood to make the frame. This means that the perimeter is 10 feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2(L + W)
=> 10 = 2(3x + x)
=> 10/2 = 4x
5 = 4x
=> x = 5/4 = 1.25 feet
The width is 1.25 feet. The length is therefore:
1.25 * 3 = 3.75 feet
If you divide 12.5 by 25 you should get 0.5
correct answer should be 0.5
