We are using substitution to solve this problem.
y=3x+1
y=-2x+3
Make these equal each other: 3x+1=-2x+3
Add 2x to both sides: 3x+2x+1=-2x+2x+3
= 5x+1=3
Subtract 1 from both sides; 5x+1-1=3-1
= 5x=2
Divide 5 from both sides: 5x/5=2/5
X= 2/5
Plug X into one of the equations: y=3(2/5) +1
y=11/5(2.2)
(2/5,11/5)
Answer:
School X has 8 points and School Y has 2 points
Step-by-step explanation:
From first sentence
X - 6 = Y
From second sentence
X = 4Y
Hence substitute equation 1 into equation 2
4Y - 6 = Y
Y = 2
X = 4 x 2 = 8
If this is represented by a linear function, then we know that the amount of money decreases at an unchanging amount. Knowing this, and knowing that on day 8, she had 2400, we simply just add 2400 to 8 100's:
2400 + 8*100 = 2400 + 800
Carrie initially had $3200, or Option C.
Answer:
168 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance Tyler drives at the slower speed, and let y represent the distance at the higher speed. Using time = distance/speed, we can write equations for the total travel time:
x/42 +y/105 = 2.5
x/28 +y/60 = 4.0 . . . . . 1.5 hours more than the usual 2.5 hours
Multiplying the first equation by 210, we have ...
5x +2y = 525
Multiplying the second equation by 420, we get ...
15x +7y = 1680
Subtracting 3 times the first of these equations from the second, we have ...
(15x +7y) -3(5x +2y) = (1680) -3(525)
y = 105
Putting this into the very first equation, we get ...
x/42 + 105/105 = 2.5
x/42 = 1.5 . . . . . . subtract 1
x = 63 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 42.
The total distance to Tyler's parents' house is ...
63 km + 105 km = 168 km
1.60/20 =0.08
0.08 per pen
