If 2x+ 3y = 55 and 4x= y+ 47, ﬁnd x − y. Can you please explain with some details?

8 0

4x=y+47, we can subtract 47 from both sides to get:
4x-47=y, now we know what y equals in terms of x, so we can substitute that in to the other equation:
2x+3y=55 becomes 2x+3*(4x-47)=55 which becomes:
2x+12x-141=55 which becomes 14x-141=55 and we can add 141 to both sides:
14x=196, divide 14 by both sides, we get x=14, which we can substitute back into the y=equation:
4x-47=y becomes 14*4-47=y which becomes y=9
x=14, y=9
x-y=14-9=5

2. A dog breeder's pricing model includes a per puppy charge along with a fired service fee. A litter with

pychu [463]

The linear function that models the situation is given by:

$C(p) = 100 + 12p$

------------------------

A linear function for the cost C of taking care of p puppies has the following format:

$C(p) = C(0) + ap$

In which:

C(0) is the fixed cost.
a is the slope, which is the cost per puppy.

------------------------

With 6 puppies, it costs $172. With 10 puppies, it costs $220. The slope is given by the change in the output(cost) divided by the change in the input(number of puppies), thus:

$a = \frac{220 - 172}{10 - 6} = 12$
