Given the system of linear equations.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Part A:


x + y = 9

4x + y = 6


To solve this system using substitution, begin by isolating either x or y in the first equation. I'll isolate x.


x + y = 9

x = 9 - y


Substitute this expression (9 - y) into the second equation for x and solve.


4x + y = 6

4(9 - y) + y = 6

36 - 4y + y = 6

36 - 3y = 6

-3y = -30

y = 10


To find x, substitute 10 for y into either of the original equations.


x + y = 9

x + 10 = 9

x = -1


Finally, check all work by substituting the x- and y-values into each original equation.


x + y = 9   -->   -1 + 10 = 9   -->   9 = 9   -->   True

4x + y = 6   -->   4(-1) + 10 = 6   -->   -4 + 10 = 6   -->   6 = 6   -->   True


The answer for Part A is x = -1 and y = 10; (-1, 10).


Part B:


For graphing, it's easier to get the equations into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To get our equations into slope-intercept form, we must simply isolate y.


x + y = 9

y = 9 - x

y = -x + 9


4x + y = 6

y = 6 - 4x

y = -4x + 6


Now that we have our slope-intercept equations, we can easily graph them, since their slopes and y-intercepts are readily visible.



Let's start with the y-intercepts. They are (0, 9) and (0, 6). You can plot those points on the graph.


Now, the slopes. The slope of the first line is -1, this means it declines. To plot this, start where you plotted the y-intercept, count one unit down, and then one unit to the right, and plot that point. Continue doing that and connect the dots, and you will have plotted the first line. The slope of the second line is -4, so it also declines. For this line, count four units down, and then one to the right and plot that point. Likewise, continue this and connect the coordinates, and you will have your line. (See attachment for graph.)


The lines do indeed intersect at (-1, 10); our answer is verified by graphing.

choli [55]

Answer:

$12.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the price of one pound by the amount of pounds you're buying,

8.45 x 1.5

= 12.675

Round up

= 12.68

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ 28 plus a monthly fee of $ 22. Club B offers
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of months then

For Club A fee= 28+22x

For Club B fee= 16+28x

Equating both we get

28 + 22x= 16+28x

28-16= 28-22x

12= 6x

x= 2

So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72

Ella and kate play basketball last year ella scored 16 points per game kates total points for the season were 22 less than Ellis
KatRina [158]

Alright, lets get started.

Ella and kate played basketball last year.

In each game, Ella scored 16 points.

We have not given the number of games played.

So, lets suppose there are n games played last year.

So, total points of Ella will be = number of games * each game score

total points of Ella will be = n * 16 = 16 n

Kates total points for the season are 22 less than Elli's points

Means , Kates total points = 16 n - 22

This expression is similar with expression given 16 z - 22 (which is give in question)

It means z = n , means variable z means total games played in last year. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
