What is the solution (using substitution) of the following equations? 2x+y=20 6x-5y=12

Mathematics

Scrat [10]3 years ago

Y has a coefficient of 1 in the first equation, so it is easiest to use that one to write an expression for y.

... y = 20 - 2x . . . . . subtract 2x

Now, this expression can be substituted for y in the second equation.

6x-5(20-2x)=12\qquad\text{substituted for y}\\6x-100+10x=12\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\16x=112\qquad\text{add 100}\\\\x=\dfrac{112}{16}=7\qquad\text{divide by the x-coefficient}

Then, using the expression for y, we find its value

... y = 20 -2·7 = 6

The solution of the equations is (x, y) = (7, 6).

At their​ family's pizzeria, Dave makes 6 pizzas in the first hour it is open and 3 pizzas each hour after that. Lauren makes 11
Nady [450]

Answer:

47 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Dave makes 6 pizzas in the first hour it is open and 3 pizzas each hour after that.

If the number of hours after the first hour  is represented as x, then the number of pizzas he makes after x hours is:

6 + 3x

Lauren makes 11 pizzas in the first hour and 3 pizzas each hour after that. Then:

11 + 3x

The pizzeria is open for 6 hours in all, that is, 5 hours after the first hour.

This means that:

x = 5

The total amount of pizzas that Dave and Lauren make is:

6 + 3x + 11 + 3x

=> 17 + 6x

Therefore, the total amount of pizza they make 5 hours after the first hour is:

17 + 6(5) = 17 + 30 = 47 pizzas

one positive integer is 2 less than another. The product of the two integers is 24. what are the two integers?
irinina [24]

If one is positive we can conclude that the other is also positive

Positive*positive=positive(24)

The product of the two numbers is 24

And the smaller number is less than the greater number by 2

Factors of 24=1*24,2*12,3*8,4*6.

The only pair with the diffrence of two is 4*6

Therefore the two integers are 4 and 6
