X+y=31 (x is the bat, y is the baseball)
x=19+y

19+y+y=31
2y=12
y=6
x=19+6
x=25

Simplify the polynomial expressions by combining like terms, and then multiply the resulting

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The simplified expression is

20x^2 - 33x - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x - 9 - 2x)(8 + 5x - 5)

We must first rewrite the expression as a product of two binomials.

This can be done by adding like terms

(6x - 9 - 2x)(8 + 5x - 5)

We have,

(4x-9)(5x+3)

Multiplying the resulting binomial expression

(4x-9)(5x+3)

(20x^2+12x-45x-27)

Add the like terms

20x^2-33x-27

The simplified expression is

20x^2 - 33x - 27

Twenty x squared minus thirty-three x minus twenty-seven

A taxi driver charges a flat rate of $3.50 plus an additional $1.65 per mile. If Mohammad wants to spend, at most, $60, how far

Ilya [14]

Answer:

A. 34 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to subtract $3.50 from $60. Now you have $56.50. Now you want to divide that by $1.65, to see how many miles you can achieve with your price limit. So, now you have a grand total of 34.24. You round that, and you finally have your answer.

The answer to this problem is A. 34 miles

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations 1/2x-3/4y=11/60 and 2/5x+1/6y=3/10

natka813 [3]

ANSWER

$( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )$

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{11}{60} ...(1)$

The second equation is

$\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{1}{6} y = \frac{3}{10} ...(2)$

We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{11}{60} \times \frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{3}{5} y = \frac{11}{75} ...(3)$

We now subtract equation (3) from (2)

$(\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{2}{3} x )+ ( \frac{1}{6} y - - \frac{3}{5}y ) =( \frac{3}{10} - \frac{11}{75} )$

$\frac{1}{6} y + \frac{3}{5}y =\frac{3}{10} - \frac{11}{75}$

$\frac{23}{30}y = \frac{23}{150}$

Multiply both sides by

$\frac{30}{23}$

$\implies \: \frac{30}{23} \times \frac{23}{30}y= \frac{23}{150} \times \frac{30}{23}$

$\implies \: y = \frac{1}{5}$

Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{60}$

Multiply to obtain

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{20} = \frac{11}{60}$

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{11}{60} + \frac{3}{20}$

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2 \times \frac{1}{2} x =2 \times \frac{1}{3}$

$x = \frac{2}{3}$

The solution is

$( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )$
