X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.

Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42

Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?
Tomtit [17]
As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)

Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band. Her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the sc
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: y = $7.50x + $25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band and her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the school for each mile that Lucy walks, plus an additional $25.

The equation that represents y, the total amount of money Lucy's mother will donate if Lucy walks x miles during the event will be:

= ($.750 × x) + $25

y = $7.50x + $25

Since Lucy walks x Mike's, we multiply x by $7.50 and then add the answer to the additional $25 which is the answer gotten above.
