Given the system of linear equations.

Mathematics

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.

PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION IN THE PICTURE BELOW

Answer:

  12 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

Here, the base is 6 inches and the height is given as 4 inches. Then the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²

The area of the triangle is 12 square inches.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

Since you are given the base and height, we presume you are intended to use the formula above. You are also given all three side lengths. If you use the appropriate formula with those, you find the area is about 15.6 square inches. (The height of this triangle is actually closer to 5.2 inches.)

The figure represents a geometry that cannot exist. With the given base and height, the side lengths should be 5, not 6.

William is planning a party. He spent $110.74 to buy 9.8 pounds of candy for favors. What was the cost per pound of the candy? (
AfilCa [17]

Answer: $11.30 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

William spent $110.74 to buy 9.8 pounds of candy.

To find the cost per candy, divide the amount spent by the quantity of candy:

=Amount spent on candy / Quantity of candy

= 110.74 / 9.8

= $11.30 per pound
