Solve the following system of equations. {y=−2x−92x+3y=−3 Write your answer as an ordered pair in the form (x,y).
1 answer:
Answer:
(x, y) = (-6, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you want to solve ...
- y = -2x -9
- 2x +3y = -3
Use the first equation to substitute for y in the second:
2x +3(-2x -9) = -3
2x -6x -27 = -3
-4x = 24 . . . . . . . . . add 27, simplify
x = -6 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -4
y = -2(-6) -9 = 12 -9 = 3
The solution is (x, y) = (-6, 3).

Answer:
a)
b)
c) They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:
Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
In this case we know that "y" represents the profit of loss and "x" the number of calendars sold.
Then, according to the exercise, the line passes through these two points:
and
Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula
Now, we can substitute the slope and one of those points into and solve for "b":
Then, subtituting values, we get that the equation that describes the relation between the profit of loss and the number of calendars sold, is:
b) The slope of the line is the profit they made from selling each calendar
c) The y-intercept is the amount they would have lost if they had sold no calendars:
They'd have lost $1000 if they had sold no calendars.
Answer:
B. 64.9
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can fit these points with an exponential curve. An appropriate answer for x=14 is about 73.3.

<em>Comment on the answer choices</em>
The closest answer that makes any sense is 64.9. Often these problems are worked by someone who uses inappropriate rounding of intermediate results. I haven't found the magic set of numbers to get 64.9. About the lowest I can get is 66.7, using 0.0037·e^(0.7x).
