Eight times a number plus five another number is -13. The sum of the two numbers is 1. What are the numbers?

Eight *(a number) plus 5*(another number) is -13.

translates to:

8(x) + 5(y) = -13

The sum of (the number) and (the other number) is 1.

translates to:

(x) + (y) = 1


We have a system of two equations involving two unknowns: x and y.

\rm 8x+5y=-13\\
~~x+~~y=~~~~1

We can easily solve the system using Substitution or Elimination. Let's use Elimination this time.

We'll multiply the second equation by -8 so that the x's match up.

\rm ~~~8x+5y=-13\\ -8x-8y=-8

When we add the equations together, the x's will fall out of the equation, summing to zero. The 5y and -8y will sum to -3y and the right hand side will sum to -21.

\rm -3y=-21

Divide by -3,

\rm y=7

Plug back into one of your original equations to find the value of x,

\rm x+y=1\\
x+7=1

Subtract 7,

\rm x=-6

Shannon went to an auto repair shop and paid $339.50, which included parts that cost $112 and 3.5 hours of labor. Joni went to a
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option A, Shannon paid $ 7 per hour to labor than Joni

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount paid by Shannon = $339.50

Total cost of 3.5 hours of labor paid by Shannon =($339.50- $112)

Total cost of 3.5 hours of labor paid by Shannon = $227.5/3.5

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Shannon  $65 per hour

Total amount paid by Joni = $455

Total cost of 2.5 hours of labor paid by Joni =  $455- $$310

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Joni = $145/2.5

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Joni = $ 58

Hence, Shannon paid $ 7 per hour to labor than Joni

Option A is correct

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? (1 point)
zlopas [31]
The first choice is correct. No, the rectangle cannot have x=60 and y=11 because x=48+2y.

Perimeter is x=2w+2y. Therefore x=2(24)+2(11) which equals 70 not 60.
