Answer:
x=1 y = -1/2
(1,-1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-2y=8
5x+2y=4
I would use elimination since we have 2y in one equation and -2y in the other
7x-2y=8
5x+2y=4
--------------------
12x = 12
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 12/12
x =1
The substitute back into equation 2
5(1) +2y = 4
5 +2y = 4
Subtract 5
5-5+2y = 4-5
2y = -1
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -1/2
y = -1/2
Answer:
The amount of apples is the Xs and The cost is the Ys
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form
Second equation: solve y:
Identify the slope of each line:
If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular
The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines
Answer:
d) f(x) = 5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to identify the variables and how they fit into the equation. in this case we know that the equation is f(x) = mx + b where f(x) is the total cost, m is the hourly cost, x is the number of hours bowled, and b is the price of the shoes.
Now, we need to solve for the hourly cost, so to do this we plug in all the known information to get 12 = m(2) + 2
To solve we need to isolate the variable by first subtracting 2 on both sides to get 10 = m(2) and then dividing both sides by 2 to get 5 = m.
Finally, since we now know that the hourly cost is $5 we can plug this information back into the equation to get f(x) = 5x + 2
We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:
Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:
Since there are 15 in chemistry and physics and 47 in chemistry, we may replace that into the equation and we get:
Simplifying:
Now we solve for P by subtracting 62 on both sides:
Therefore, there are 16 students in physics
