Answer:
If solving for X. (didn't know if you were solving for X or Y.
x=2y-12
x=5y-15
Step-by-step explanation:
x-2y=-12
+2y on both sides
x=2y-12
x-5y=-15
+5y on both sides
x=5y-15
1000 is our constant because the truck was only used one day. We also know they charge a certain amount per hour, but we do not know how much. In this case they charged that amount 9 times because the truck was used for 9 hours. The total of the constant plus the 9hour fee is 2700 dollars:
1000(1) + 9x = 2700
The reason we multiply 1000 by 1, is because we only used the truck for one day.
Solve for x
9x = 2700 - 1000 = 1700
X = 1700/9 = 188.88
The hourly fee is $188.88
The question is asking for an equation for hours of use though, so the answer is
1000(1) + 9(188.88) = C
C represents cost or charge.
Choose whatever 2 points you want and you will always get the same slope. Calculate the rise and run.

- Terms/Coefficients
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
2x + y = 5
3x - 2y = 4
<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>
<em>Manipulate 1st equation</em>
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: y = 5 - 2x
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em> [2nd Equation]: 3x - 2(5 - 2x) = 4
- [Distributive Property] Distribute -2: 3x - 10 + 4x = 4
- [Addition] Combine like terms: 7x - 10 = 4
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 10 on both sides: 7x = 14
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 7 on both sides: x = 2
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em> [Modified 1st Equation]: y = 5 - 2(2)
- Multiply: y = 5 - 4
- Subtract: y = 1
