Let x be the months and y be the cost.

Rate of increase of commodity A = 6/3 = $2 per month
Equation:
y = 2x + 4500

Rate of increase of commodity B = 2/4 = $0.5 per month
Equation:
y = 0.5x + 5400

Equating the costs,
2x + 4500 = 0.5x + 5400
1.5x = 900
x = 600 months
x = 600 / 12 = 50 years

Solve each system by substitution<br><br> 2x - 3y = -1<br> X + 4y = -6
lord [1]

Answer:

(- 2, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = - 1 → (1)

x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 4y from both sides

x = - 6 - 4y → (3)

Substitute x = - 6 - 4y into (1)

2(- 6 - 4y) - 3y = - 1 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 12 - 8y - 3y = - 1

- 12 - 11y = - 1 ( add 12 to both sides )

- 11y = 11 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = - 1

Substitute y = - 1 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - 6 - 4(- 1) = - 6 + 4 = - 2

Solution is (- 2, - 1 )

What is the surface area of the square pyramid?
yawa3891 [41]
The answer is 240 because 11 x 8 is 88 but you divide by 2 since it's a triangle so you get 44 and since there's 4 triangles you do 44 x 4 and get 176 then 8 x 8 is 64 plus 176 is 240
