2x +4y =10x-3y =12

2x +4y =12 -----eq. 1

10x-3y =12 -------eq.2


2x =12 -4y [using eq. 1]
x = (12-4y)/ 2
= 6 -2y

Now, substitute the value of x in eq. 2
10 (6-2y)-3y =10
60 -20y -3y =10
-23 y = 10 -60
y = -50 / -23
y = 50/23


Now, substitute this value of y in any equations given above

10 x-3 (50/23) =12
10x - (150/23)= 12
x= 426/230

Ervin sells vintage cars. Every three months, he manages to sell 13 cars. Assuming he sells cars at a constant rate, what is the
Vladimir [108]
Ervin sells 13 cars per 3 months so 13/3=4.3 cars per month. 

this means that 

___month___     ___cars sold___

          1                         4.3
          2                     2*4.3
          3                     3*4.3
          :                           :
          n                     n*4.3

the linear function representing the cars sold per month is f(n)=4.3*n

(Practically, this means that the expected number of cars sold after n months is a whole number close to 4.3*n.)

Answer:

the slope is 4.3 (13/3)
