Answer:

  x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works well to collect terms first. (Add the coefficients of x.)

  -4x +x = -9/4

  (-4+1)x = -9/4

  -3x = -9/4 . . . . . . equation with terms collected

Now, you can divide by the coefficient of x. Here, it can be useful to consider this to be the same as multiplying by the inverse of that coefficient, which inverse is -1/3.

  (-1/3)(-3x) = (-1/3)(-9/4) . . . . . multiply both sides by -1/3

  x = 3/4 . . . . . simplify

The answer is x = 10, y = 10.

Step 1: rearrange the second equation for y.
Step 2: substitute y from the second equation into the first equation.
Step 3. Calculate y.

Step 1.
<span>The second equation is: 6x + 3y = 90
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
(6x + 3y)/3 = 90/3
6x/3 + 3y/3 = 30
2x + y = 30
Rearrange the equation:
y = 30 - 2x

Step 2.
</span>Substitute y from the second equation (y = 30 - 2x) into the first equation:
<span>15x + 9y = 240
15x + 9(30 - 2x) = 240
15x + 270 - 18x = 240
15x - 18x = 240 - 270
-3x = -30
x = -30/-3
x = 10

Step 3.
Since </span>y = 30 - 2x and x = 10, then:
y = 30 - 2 * 10
y = 30 - 20
y = 10

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y-intercept of 2, x-intercept of 4
zvonat [6]

Answer:

\sf y=-\dfrac12x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept is when x = 0, so (0, 2)

x-intercept is when y = 0, so (4, 0)

\sf slope=\dfrac{change\:in\:y}{change\:in\:x}=\dfrac{0-2}{4-0}=-\dfrac12

Slope-intercept form of linear equation:  \sf y=mx+b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

Given:

  • \sf m=-\dfrac12
  • b = 2

\sf \implies y=-\dfrac12x+2

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

A character is offered five different jobs. They all include an hourly wage, as well as a set weekly base pay. One example is a job that pays $8.50 an hour, plus an additional $25 bonus for the week. (Weekly base pay is what you automatically get paid for working the entire week. A bonus is money you earn in addition to the weekly base pay.) Story Starter 2: A character is searching for the best cell phone plan to buy. One plan costs $25 a month, plus $0.89 per minute used. Story Starter 3: A character is trying to decide which cab to choose from the five available. All the cabs have different rates per mile. They also charge different flat rates in addition to the rates per mile. One cab is offering a rate of $0.75 per mile, plus a flat fee of $25.
