Jason had $32. He spent all the money buying four CDs for x dollars each and two magazines for y dollars each. If Jason had boug

ht five CDs and two magazines, he would have run short by $4. The following system of equations models this scenario:
4x + 2y = 32
5x + 2y = 36

Use the system of equations to solve for x and y.

Answer:

(4,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two equations:

$ 4x + 2y = 32 \hspace{15mm} .....(1) $ and

$ 5x + 2y = 36 \hspace{15mm}  .....(2) $

Subtracting (1) from (2):

⇒ 5x + 2y -4x - 2y = 36 - 32

⇒                  x = 4

Substituting the value of x in (1), we get:

4(4) + 2y = 32

⇒ 2y = 16

⇒                      y = 8

We write the solution in ordered pair as (x,y) = (4,8).

Deffense [45]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\bold{NO\ REAL\ SOLUTIONS}}\\\boxed{x=4-2i,\ x=4+2i}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\\c-4\neq0\ \wedge\ c-5\neq0\Rightarrow c\neq4\ \wedge\ c\neq5\\\\\dfrac{c}{c-5}=\dfrac{4}{c-4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\c(c-4)=4(c-5)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\c^2-4c=4c-20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4c\ \text{from both sides}\\\\c^2-8c=-20\qquad\text{add 20 to both sides}\\\\c^2-8c+20=0\qquad\text{use the quadratic formula}

\text{for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac0,\ \text{then the equation has two solutions}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x^2-8x+20=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-8,\ c=20\\\\b^2-4ac=(-8)^2-4(1)(20)=64-80=-16

\text{In the set of complex numbers:}\\\\i=\sqrt{-1}\\\\\text{therefore}\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{-16}=\sqrt{(16)(-1)}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=4i\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-8)\pm4i}{2(1)}=\dfrac{8\pm4i}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\pm\dfrac{4i}{2}=4\pm2i
