Answer:
x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.
Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>
171x = 87x + 2129
Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides
84x = 2129
Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x
x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)
To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:
y = 171 (25.35)
y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)
You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.
Answer To (b): 10 sandwiches in 20 minutes. But If Your Friend Arrived 10 Minutes Earlier, Then He Can Make 20 Sandwiches In The 20 Minutes That You Are There. If He Started When He Arrived And The Twenty Minutes Started Then, You Can Only Make 5.
Slope is the change in Y over the change in X:
Slope = (6 - -8) / (5 - -3)
Slope = (6+8) / (5+3)
Slope = 14/8
Slope = 7/4
X = -1
(-1, -5) The line is horizontal.
