Answer:

x=-2,y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

By dividing to lowest terms

5x – 5y = 10= x-y=2.......(1)

6x – 4y = 4=3x-2y=2........(2)

By elimination method

Multiply equation (1) by 3 so as to correspond with equation (2)

3(x-y)=3(2)

3x-3y=6..........(3)

Multiply equation (2) by 1 so as to correspond with equation (1)

1(3x-2y)=1(2)

3x-2y=2..........(4)

Then equation (3)-equation (4)

(3x-3y=6)

(3x-2y=2)

__________

-y=4

y=-4

Substitute y=-4 into equation(1)

x-(-4)=2

x+4=2

x=-2

Therefore x=-2,y=-4

Take 2 points

(0,5000)
(2,4000)

Slope:-

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow m=\dfrac{4000-5000}{2}=-500$

Equation in point slope form

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y-5000=-500(x)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=-500x+5000$

Initial amount=y intercept=5000

A área de um retângulo é igual a 44, sabendo que as suas medidas são iguais a 4 e (3x+2), calcule a medida do lado maior deste r

jekas [21]

Responda:

Explicação passo a passo:

Área do retângulo = comprimento * largura

Dado

Comprimento = 4

Largura = 3x + 2

Área = 44

Substitua na fórmula e obtenha x

44 = 4 (3x + 2)

44 = 12x + 8

12x = 44-8

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

Obtenha os lados mais longos

Lado mais longo = 3x + 2

Substitua x = 3

Lado mais comprido = 3 (3) + 2

Lado mais comprido = 11

Portanto, a medida do lado mais longo deste retângulo é 11

A company has determined that its weekly profit is a function of the number of items that it sells. Which equation could represe

Mrac [35]

Answer:

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

Step-by-step explanation:

A. y^2=4x^2-100

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

C. x=-y^2-400

D. x^2=-6y^2+200

we are to find profits (y) when the company sells x items

Option A can be used to calculate the profit (y) squared

Option B can be used to calculate profits (y)

Option C can be used to calculate items sold(x)

Option D can be used to calculate items sold squared(x^2)

We are asked to find the weekly profit (y) function which eliminate options A, C and D leaving us with option B

Therefore, the weekly profits (y) function in thousands of dollars when the company sells x items is

B. y= -x^2+50x-300
