= 7x+2y=17

- (3x+2y=3)


= 7x+2y=17

 -3x-2y=-3


= 7x+2y=17

 -3x-2y=-3

= 4x = 14


= x = 14/4

Answer: x=\dfrac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are:

7x+2y=17
............................................(1)\\\\\text{ and }3x+2y=32..............................(2)/tex]When we subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we subtract the right hand side of equation (1) from the right hand side of equation (2) and similarly for left side equation, we get[tex]7x-3x+2y-2y=17-3\\\\\Rightarrow\(7-3)x+(2-2)y=17-3 \\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x+0=14\\\\\Rightrrow\ x=\dfrac{14}{4}=\dfrac{7}{2}

Thus when we subtract the given equations, we get x=\dfrac{7}{2}

Jim bought 20 rose bushes last week. The regular price is $5.00 per bush, but last week they were on sale at 2 for $8.50. How mu
Nikitich [7]

Answer: he saved $15

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush, but last week they were on sale at 2 for $8.50. This means that the amount that one would cost is

8.5/2 = $4.25

If Jim bought 20 rose bushes last week, it means that the amount that he paid for 20 rose bushes is

20 × 4.25 = $85

The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush. If he had bought at the regular price, the amount that he would have paid is

5 × 20 = $100

Therefore, the amount saved by the bushes on sale is

100 - 85 = $15

Roshonda begins riding her bike home from school at 3:00p.M., traveling 12 miles per hour. James leaves school in a bus a quarte
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point where Roshonda and James meet each other, they must have covered equal distances.

Let x represent the distance that Roshonda covered while riding from school to home and also the distance covered by James while travelling in a bus from school.

Let t represent the time it took Roshonda to cover x miles.

Distance = speed × time

Therefore

x = 12 × t = 12t

James left school 0.25 hours later at a speed of 35 miles per hour. Time spent by James in covering x miles would be t - 0.25.

Distance covered would be

x = 35(t - 0.25) = 35t - 8.75

Since the distance covered is the same, then,

12t = 35t - 8.75

35t - 12t = 8.75

23t = 8.75

t = 8.75/23 = 0.38 hours

0.38 + 0.25 = 0.63 hours

0.63 × 60 = 37.8 minutes

At about 3:38 pm, they would meet
