20x-8y=-5 10x-4y=-4 Can someone please solve this

1 answer:

7 0

No Solution

When you do the substitution method, you would have the x and y variables equal to zero. In systems of equations, the equations are equal with each other.

20x-8y=-5
10x-4y=-4

20x-8y=-5
-2(10x-4y=-4)

20x-8y=-5
-20x+8y=8

The 20x and -20x cancel out
The -8y and 8y also cancel out. Thus leaving -5 and 8

According to system of equations, the equations must be equal. Additionally, -5 does not equal to 8.

Therefore, the answer is no solution.

A car salesperson earns a 18% commission on every car sold. The salesperson sells a car for $37,560. What is the commission?

Hatshy [7]

100% = $37,560

18% = ?

(18 × 37560) ÷ 100

= 676,080 ÷ 100

= $6760.8 commission

The length of a rectangular garden is 6 more than its width. If the perimeter is 32 feet, what is the width and the area of the

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

${\fbox{ \sf{Width \: of \: a \: rectangular \: garden \: = 5 \: feet}}}$

$\boxed{ \sf{ \: Area \: of \: a \: rectangular \: garden = 55 {ft}^{2}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star$ Let the width of a rectangular garden be 'w'

$\star$ Length of a rectangular garden = 6 + w

$\star$ Perimeter of a rectangular garden = 32 feet

 $\longrightarrow$ Finding the width of a rectangular garden :

$\boxed{ \sf{ \: Perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle \: = \: 2(length + width}}$

$\mapsto{ \text{32 = 2(6 + w + w)}}$

$\text{Step \: 1 \: : Collect \: like \: terms}$

Like terms are those which have the same base

$\mapsto{ \text{32 = 2(6 + 2w) }}$

$\text{Step \: 2 \: : Distribute \: 2 \: through \: the \: parentheses}$

$\mapsto{ \text{32 = 12 + 4w}}$

$\text{Step \: 3 \: : Swap \: the \: sides \: of \: the \: equation}$

$\mapsto{ \text{4w + 12 = 32}}$

$\text{Step \: 4 \: : Move \: 12 \: to \: right \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \text{4w = 32 - 12}}$

$\text{Step \: 5 \: : Subtract \: 12 \: from \: 32}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{4w = 20}}$

$\text{Step \: 6 \: : Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{4w}{4} = \frac{20}{4}}}$

$\text{Step \: 7 \: : Calculate}$

$\mapsto{ \text{w = 5}}$

Width of a rectangular garden = 5 feet

$\longrightarrow$ Substituting / Replacing the value of w in 6 + w in order to find the length of a rectangular garden

$\mapsto{ \sf{Length = 6 + w = 6 + 5 = \bold{11 \: feet} }}$

$\longrightarrow$ Finding the area of a rectangular garden having length of 11 feet and width of 5 feet :

$\boxed{ \sf{Area \: of \: a \: rectangle = length \:∗ \: width}}$

$\mapsto{ \text{Area \: = \: 11 \: ∗ \: 5}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Area \: = 55 \: {ft}^{2} }}$

Area of a rectangular garden = 55 ft²

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

I came up with -12

Step-by-step explanation:

8 workers = 6 days to complete

x workers = 4 days faster to complete

6/4=1.5 days faster

1.5 x 8 = 12 workers needed to complete the wall in fours days
