Answer:

(x, y ) = ( $\frac{1}{2}$ , $\frac{5}{2}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

4x + 2y = 7 → (1)

y = 5x → (2)

Substitute y = 5x into equation (1)

4x + 2(5x) = 7

4x + 10x = 7

14x = 7 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = $\frac{7}{14}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

substitute this value into equation (2)

y = 5 × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

Victor was having a hard time deciding which new vehicle he should buy. He decided to make the final decision based on the gas e

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Victor should buy Legend because it has a better unit rate

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question.

To determine which car has more gas efficiency, we have to calculate the slope of each car.

Vehicle 1: Legend

Take any two corresponding points from the table

$(x_1,y_1) = (4,72)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (12,216)$

The slope is then calculated using;

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{216 - 72}{12 - 4}$

$m = \frac{144}{8}$

$m = 18$

This implies that this vehicle (legend) travels 18 miles per gallon of gas

Vehicle 2: Supreme

Take any two corresponding points from the graph

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (15,250)$

The slope is then calculated using;

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{250 - 0}{15 - 0}$

$m = \frac{250}{15}$

$m = 16.7$

This implies that this vehicle (supreme) travels 16.7 miles per gallon of gas

Base on the calculations above, Victor should buy Legend because it has a better unit rate

Using the table below, write a function rule for the balance in the CD account after any number of years. Let y represent the va

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

y = 700 +22x

Step-by-step explanation:

The CD account balance is 722 after the first year and increases by $22 each year. The function rule is a linear function with a y-intercept of 700 and a slope of $22 per year.

y = 700 +22x . . . . . . ending balance after x years

AleksAgata [21]

Answer: 1,425 students

Step-by-step explanation: This is easy to solve using proportions/

114/8 = ?/100

First, you cross multiply (or whatever this is called sry) 100x114=11400

Then divide 11400÷8=1,425
