You can go on 9 rides, and will have $1.50 left over.
you can make 13 phone calls, and will have $0.15 left over
This question involves direct proportion which has the formula (y=kx) where y and x are the values which are proportional and k is the constant of proportionality.
The constant of proportionality is basically the value that stays the same even if the x and y values change.
In this case, the constant of proportionality would be 3/7.
The best way to solve is by using elimination method.
20x = -58 - 2y
17x = -49 - 2y
Multiply second equation by -1
20x = -58 - 2y
-17x = 49 + 2y
Add equations.
3x = -9
Divide.
x = -3
Plug in -3 into one of the equations.
17(-3) = -49 - 2y
-51 = -49 - 2y
Add 49 to both sides.
-2 = -2y
Divide.
1 = y
So your solution is (-3, 1).
I hope this helps love! :)
Make bottom number same
ok, so remember
(a-b)(a+b)=a²+b²
so
to get from (y-x) to (y²-x²), multiply 2nd fraction by (y+x)
so multiply 2nd fraction by (y+x)/(y+x)

=
