4x - 5y = -15
y = -3x + 22
Plug in your y= equation into the y variable in the other equation
4x - 5 (y) = -15
^^
y = (-3x + 22) = -15
4x - 5 (-3x + 22) = -15
Distribute
4x + 15x - 110 = -15
Combine like terms and add 110 over to -15
19x = 95
Then, divide the whole equation by 19
x = 5
Then, plug in your x into your y= equation
y = -3 (5) + 22
y = -15 + 22
y = 7
<em><u>x = 5</u></em>
<em><u>y = 7</u></em>
<em><u>(5, 7)</u></em>
The original price is $254.10 or 254 rounded. 154 times .65 is 100.1. Add 100.1 to the sale price which is 154 and you'll get the original, 254.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
a) 0.125
b) 7
c) 0.875 hr
d) 1 hr
e) 0.875
Step-by-step explanation:l
Given:
Arrival rate, λ = 7
Service rate, μ = 8
a) probability that no requests for assistance are in the system (system is idle).
Let's first find p.
a) ρ = λ/μ

Probability that the system is idle =
1 - p
= 1 - 0.875
=0.125
probability that no requests for assistance are in the system is 0.125
b) average number of requests that will be waiting for service will be given as:
λ/(μ - λ)
= 7
(c) Average time in minutes before service
= λ/[μ(μ - λ)]
= 0.875 hour
(d) average time at the reference desk in minutes.
Average time in the system js given as: 1/(μ - λ)

= 1 hour
(e) Probability that a new arrival has to wait for service will be:
λ/μ =
= 0.875
Answer:
cost of producing the 501st item = $9.92
Step-by-step explanation:
The function representing the cost is given by;
C(x) = 10000 + 90x - 0.08x²
To get the cost of producing the 501st item, we have to first find the cost of producing 500 items and then do the same for 501 items then subtract the values gotten.
Thus;
C(500) = 10000 + 90(500) - 0.08(500)²
C(500) = 10000 + 45000 - 20000
C(500) = $35000
Similarly;
C(501) = 10000 + 90(501) - 0.08(501)²
C(501) = 10000 + 45090 - 20080.08
C(501) = $35009.92
cost of producing the 501st item = C(501) - C(500) = 35009.92 - 35000 = $9.92
