Alright!

So, after doing the math - John made a profit of $6,000 on his first car, and then had a loss of $7,800 on his first car. Taking the difference between these numbers, we get a loss of $1,800. =)

Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination. 8x + 7y=39 4x – 14y = -68

harina [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Here;

The equations are;

$8x + 7y = 39.......(i)$

$4x - 14y = - 68..........(ii)$

Multiplying equation (i) by 2.

16x + 14y = 78

<u>4</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-68</u>

20x = 10

$x = \frac{10}{20}$

x = 1/2.

Putting value of 'x' in equation (i).

$8 \times \frac{1}{2} + 7y = 39$

$4 + 7y = 39$

$7y = 3 9 - 4$

$y = \frac{35}{7}$

Therefore the value of y is 5.

<u>Check</u><u>:</u>

<u>Put</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u><u>.</u>

8x + 7y = 39

$8 \times \frac{1}{2} + 7 \times 5 = 39$

$4 + 35 = 39$

$39 = 39$

(True).

<u>Therefore</u><u>, </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>solution</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>;</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>/</u><u>2</u><u>,</u><u>5</u><u>)</u><u>.</u>

apex if you put down 15% on a $9000 car and pay monthly payments of $189.40 for 48 months what is the total price of the car

defon

The total amount payable for the car if you put a down 15% on a $9000 car and payment of $189.40 for 48 months will be:

Amount=(15/100×9000)+(189.40×48)

=1350+9091.2

=10,441.2

The total amount of money paid for the car after a period of time will be $10,441.2

A) if x=4 evaluate the perimeter of the blanket. Don’t forget to include the measurement in your final answer.

Tanzania [10]

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2W + 2L

Here, P = 2(x-3 ) cm + 2(3x+7) cm = 2x - 6 + 6x + 14 (cm)

Combine like terms: 8x + 8 cm (simplest form) This is the perimeter.

Now let x = 4: P(x=4) = 8(4) + 8 cm = 40 cm

Write the exact value of the side length of each square. If the value is not a whole number, estimate the length.

Savatey [412]

Given:

The area of the squares are given.

To find:

The exact side length or estimate side length of the square.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a square is

$A=a^2$

Where, a is the side length of the square.

$a=\sqrt{A}$

Area of the square is 100 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{100}$

$a=10$

Therefore, the side length is 10 units.

Area of the square is 95 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{95}$

It is not exact. We know that $\sqrt{81}$ .

Therefore, the side length is between 9 and 10.

Area of the square is 36 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{36}$

$a=6$

Therefore, the side length is 6 units.

Area of the square is 30 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{30}$

It is not exact. We know that $\sqrt{25}$ .

Therefore, the side length is between 5 and 6.
