Ok, so you are given the value of P=q+2
The substitution method tells us that we must insert the value we know, into the second equation, 4P+3q= -27
Doing so will give us 4(q+2)+3q= -27
For right now, lets just focus on the first part, 4(q+2)
We can simplify this by distributing(multiplying) the 4 to whats inside the variables.
This will give us 4q+8
now lets add this back to the rest of the equation >>> 4q+8+3q = -27
We can further simplify by adding like terms >>> 7q+8 = -27
subtract the 8 from both sides >>> 7q = -35
now divide both sides by 7 >>> q = -35/7
Therefor q = -5
EDIT*
now that we know q = -5 we can put q into the equation for P !
we know that p=q+2
so lets put q in now >>> p=(-5)+2
and simplify>>> p = -3
I hope this helps:)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
36÷3=12
So you will need 12 pizzas
1. You already did it.
2. Table
3. t (years since 1990)
4. n (# of cigarettes sold)
5. (t, n)
6. You can see the distribution of the data pretty neatly. There are also many more advantages including it's easier to calculate standard deviation, easier to see the mean, mode and median, and it's also much easier to just tell the extrema of the dataset by just looking at the scattergram.
