She worked as a carpenter for 12 hours and as a blacksmith for 18 hours.

Assuming you mean she earned $20 as a carpenter and $25 as a blacksmith per hour, with a total of 30 hours for $690,
let c represent carpenter hours and b for blacksmith hours.

20c + 25b = 690
c + b = 30
Subtract b from each side so that c = 30 - b
Plug this value into the first equation

20(30 - b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
600 + 5b = 690
5b = 90
b = 18

To find c, plug this value of b into the other equation
c + 18 = 30
c = 12

Solve 7y-6=2y+8 show clear algebraic working
aniked [119]
1) subtract 2y in both sides: (7y-2y)-6=(2y-2y)+8 which is 5y-6=8
2) Add 6 to both sides: 5y(-6+6)=8+6 which is 5y=14
3) Divide 5 on both sides: 5y/5=14/5 which is y=14/5 or y=2.8 or y=2 4/5

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities ?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(12,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y\leq \frac{4}{3}x+5 ----> inequality A

y\geq -\frac{5}{2}x+5 ---> inequality B

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must satisfy both inequalities (makes true both inequalities)

<u><em>Verify each point</em></u>

Substitute the value of x and the value of y  of each ordered pair in the inequality A and in the inequality B

case 1) (0,-1)

Inequality A

-1\leq \frac{4}{3}(0)+5

-1\leq5 ----> is true

Inequality B

-1\geq -\frac{5}{2}(0)+5

-1\geq 5 ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 2) (0,3)

Inequality A

3\leq \frac{4}{3}(0)+5

3\leq5 ----> is true

Inequality B

3\geq -\frac{5}{2}(0)+5

3\geq 5 ----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 3) (-6,-6)

Inequality A

-6\leq \frac{4}{3}(-6)+5

-6\leq-3 ----> is true

Inequality B

-6\geq -\frac{5}{2}(-6)+5

-6\geq 20----> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the system

case 4) (12,-6)

Inequality A

-6\leq \frac{4}{3}(12)+5

-6\leq21 ----> is true

Inequality B

-6\geq -\frac{5}{2}(12)+5

-6\geq -25 ----> is true

therefore

The ordered pair is a solution of the system (makes true both inequalities)

18 is 75 percent of what number
dimulka [17.4K]
18 is 75% of x.

75\%= \frac{75}{100}=\frac{3 \times 25}{4 \times 25}=\frac{3}{4} \\ \\&#10;\frac{3}{4}x=18 \\&#10;x=18 \times \frac{4}{3} \\&#10;x=6 \times 4\\&#10;x=24&#10;

18 is 75% of 24.

Solve the system of equations by the substitution method
slava [35]

Answer:

x=0.5

y = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 7

y = 5x + 8

3x + 7 = 5x + 8

3x - 5x=  8 - 7

2x = 1

x= 1/2

x=0.5

y = 5x + 8

y = 5(0.5) + 8

y = 2.5 + 8

y = 10.5
