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

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

Each marble bag sold by Hans's Marble Company contains 8 purple marbles for every 5 green marbles. If a bag has 30 green marbles
gregori [183]

We can set up a proportion since we know the ratio between the # of purple marbles and the # of green marbles.

A ratio is a way to compare two different values: for every 8 purple marbles there are 5 green marbles

<h2>\frac{8}{5} = \frac{p}{30}</h2><h2 /><h2>when we cross multiply, we get 5p = 240 </h2><h2>we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable </h2><h2 /><h3><u>There are 48 purple marbles </u></h3>

a TV has a listed price of 813.95 before tax if the sales tax rate is 6.5% find a total cost of the tv with the sales tax includ
shusha [124]
The tax is 6.5% OF the listed price. "OF" in math means multiply.

First convert the percentage to a decimal 

6.5% = .065

Then multiply .065*813.95 = 52.90675. This is the tax.

Simply add the tax onto the cost

813.95 + 52.90675 = $866.86 (rounded)

The length of a rectangle is represented by the function L(x) = 5x. The width of that same rectangle is represented by the funct
Mazyrski [523]

Remember that the area of a rectangle is the length of the rectangle multiplied by the width of the rectangle.


In this case, we could say (where A(x) is the area of the rectangle):

A(x) = L(x) \cdot W(x)


Substituting the values the problem gave us for L(x) and W(x), we can find the formula for A in terms of x, which is:

A(x) = (5x) \cdot (2x^2 - 4x + 13) = (10x^3 - 20x^2 + 65x)


The formula for the area of the rectangle would be A(x) = 10x³ - 20x² + 65x.

1. A ball's position, in meters, as it travels every second is represented by the position function s(t) = 4.9t2+ 450.
bezimeni [28]
1) The ball's position is described by:
s(t) = 4.9t² + 450
We want to find the velocity, which is the 1st-order derivative of the displacement function (I assume this is an introductory calculus class)
s'(t) = v(t) = 9.8t           
We get this by multiplying 4.9 x 2 and reducing the exponent by 1. Now we simply plug 5 in for t.
v(5) = 9.8* 5
v(5) = 49m/s

2) Our cost function is C(x) = x² - 10,000
To find the average rate of change between these units, we use this formula:
( C(101) - C(100) ) ÷1 .
We find the change in C, and divide by the change in x, which is just one. 
C(101) = 101² - 10,000
C(101) = 201

C(100) = 100² - 10,000
C(100= 0

C(101) - C(100) = 201 
Average rate of change in cost is 201 dollars/ unit between the two points.
