The idea here is to combine the equations into one in only one variable. The last equation is in only x and z so lets sub out y in the second.

-x - y - z = -8
8 - x - z = y

Substitute y with (8 - x - z) into the next equation.
-4x + 4(8 - x - z) + 5z = 7
-4x + 32 - 4x - 4z + 5z = 7
-8x + 32 + z = 7
 The variable z is easiest to get alone; use that as substitution in the last equation.
z = 7 + 8x - 32
z = 8x - 25

Substitute z with (8x - 25)
2x + 2(8x - 25) = 4
2x + 16x - 50 = 4
18x = 4 + 50
18x = 54
x = 3

So use x = 3 in that  last equation to find z.

2(3) + 2z = 4
6 + 2z = 4
2z = 4 - 6
2z = -2
z = -1

Now, use both x = 3 and z = -1 to find the final variable y.

-3 - y - (-1) = -8
-3 - y + 1 = -8
-2 - y = -8
-y = -8 + 2
-y = -6
y = 6

Solutions x,y,z = ( 3, 6, -1)

What is the simplified form of 5 square root x^4 • 5 square root x^4
laiz [17]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write each term into a fraction.

\sqrt[5]{x^4} becomes x^4^/^5

When you multiply 2 terms with the same base, you add the exponents.

x^4^/^5*x^4^/^5=x^4^/^5^+^4^/^5=x^8^/^5

x^8^/^5 is also the same as x\sqrt[5]{x^3}

You get this because \sqrt[5]{x^8} =\sqrt[5]{x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x}. When you pull out 5 os x, you are left with x³ on the inside.

A taxi driver wrote a formula to represent the mileage and fee for his last customer. He wrote the equation 3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.

Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the equation given:

3.00 + 0.50 m = 9.50

Where m is the number of miles.

The equation states that the fixed fee charged (3.00) plus the product of the value of each mile traveled (0.50) and the number of miles traveled (m); is equal to 9.50.

So, the correct statements are:

  • The sum of three dollars and the product of 50 cents times the number of miles is nine dollars and fifty cents.
  • Three dollars plus $0.50 times the number of miles is equal to nine dollars and fifty cents.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
