Step 1. Multiply first equation with -3 and the second one with 2. You'll get:
Step 2. Add both equations together. You'll get:
, which gives x = -2
Step 3. Replace x = -2 in the first equation and calculate y.
The solution is: x=-2, y=5
Step 2. Add both equations together. You'll get:
Step 3. Replace x = -2 in the first equation and calculate y.
The solution is: x=-2, y=5
To find the inverse of a function, replace every x in the equation with a y, and replace every y in the equation with an x:
Add 9 to both sides:
Square root both sides to get y by itself:
This equation can be simplified by taking the square root of 9 out of the root:
The inverse of this function is y = 3 + √x.
Add 9 to both sides:
Square root both sides to get y by itself:
This equation can be simplified by taking the square root of 9 out of the root:
The inverse of this function is y = 3 + √x.
The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold
Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold
Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2
Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3
<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>
Therefore,
Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold
a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>
<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:
Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156
2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>
2(8 + b) + 3b = 156
16 + 2b + 3b = 156
16 + 5b = 156
5b = 156 - 16
5b = 140
<h3>b = 28</h3><em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 8 + 28
<h3>a = 36</h3>Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
