Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The result of the substitution shown in Option A is obtained by solving for y from the first equation and substituting into the second equation:

$2x + y = 7\\y=7-2x$

$y - x = 1\\7-2x-x=1$

Therefore, this is a result of a substitution in the given system.

B) The result of the substitution shown in Option B is obtained by solving for y from the second equation and substituting into the first equation:

$y - x = 1$

$y=x+1$

$2x + y = 7\\2x + x + 1 = 7$

Therefore, this is a result of a substitution in the given system.

C) The result of the substitution shown in Option C is not a result of a substitution in the given system, because if you solve for x from the second equation and substitute into the first one, you get:

$y-x=1\\(-1)(-x)=(-y+1)(-1)\\x=y-1\\\\2(y - 1) + y = 7$

Snoopy the dog is on a 11-ft long chain that is attached to the corner of a garage (see the picture below). If the chain does no

11*2 = 22 (calculating the diameter)

Using πD for the area:
π * 22 = 22π

Getting 3/4 of the area because the dog can not move past the corners of the garage;

22π * 3/4 = 16.5π

Getting the answer in feet^2:
16.5 * 3.14 = 51.84 feet^2

Hope this helps! :)

A manufacturer of bicycles has determined that 550 bikes per month will be sold at a price of $250. At a price of $150, it is es

iogann1982 [59]

750 bikes would be sold for $350

Let x represent the number of bikes sold per month and y represent the price.

550 bikes are sold at a price of $250, this can be represented by (550, 250). Also, 750 bikes is sold at a price of $150, hence it is represented by (750, 150)

A linear function is represented by:

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept.

Therefore the function is:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-250=\frac{150-250}{750-550} (x-550)\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-25$
