The shop sold 15 more mountain bikes than road bikes in 15 months.
First you calculate the area of the big rectangle (ignoring the small one the bottom):
A1 = 10 x 6 = 60.
next you calculate the small one:
A2 = 2 x 2 = 4
Now you subtract the small one from the big one and you get:
Area of the figure = A1 - A2 = 60 - 4 = 56
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When using the substitution method we use the fact that if two expressions y and x are of equal value x=y, then x may replace y or vice versa in another expression without changing the value of the expression.
Solve the systems of equations using the substitution method
{y=2x+4
{y=3x+2
We substitute the y in the top equation with the expression for the second equation:
2x+4 = 3x+2
4−2 = 3x−2
2=== = x
To determine the y-value, we may proceed by inserting our x-value in any of the equations. We select the first equation:
y= 2x + 4
We plug in x=2 and get
y= 2⋅2+4 = 8
The elimination method requires us to add or subtract the equations in order to eliminate either x or y, often one may not proceed with the addition directly without first multiplying either the first or second equation by some value.
Example:
2x−2y = 8
x+y = 1
We now wish to add the two equations but it will not result in either x or y being eliminated. Therefore we must multiply the second equation by 2 on both sides and get:
2x−2y = 8
2x+2y = 2
Now we attempt to add our system of equations. We commence with the x-terms on the left, and the y-terms thereafter and finally with the numbers on the right side:
(2x+2x) + (−2y+2y) = 8+2
The y-terms have now been eliminated and we now have an equation with only one variable:
4x = 10
x= 10/4 =2.5
Thereafter, in order to determine the y-value we insert x=2.5 in one of the equations. We select the first:
2⋅2.5−2y = 8
5−8 = 2y
−3 =2y
−3/2 =y
y =-1.5
At very minimum, move (4/5)x to the other side of the given equation. Then:
-(4/5)x + y = 0.85. This is the equation in standard form.
