Answer:
9 x + 8 y = 10 (I)
y = -4x + 7 (II)
One way is to rewrite the second as
4x + y = 7
Now multiply this equation by 8
32 x + 8 y = 56
9 x + 8 y = 10 and now subtract the equations
23 x = 46 this gives x as 2
From equation (II) y = -4 (2) + 7 = -1
So our values are (2, -1)
Check:
(I) 9 x + 8 y = 10 9 * 2 - 8 = 10
(II) 4 x + y = 7 or 4 * 2 - 1 = 7
Or you can substitute equation (II) directly into equation (I)
Do you want us to answer or simplify?
Simplify:=−18x^7 y^3 + 21x^5 y^4+ 15x^2 y^5
A positive one because the nagatives cancel out
Answer:
12 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.
x=weight of package
UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)
UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3
UPS cost=6.7+0.15x
FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)
FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5
FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x
Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.
6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x
6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5
1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x
1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1
x=12
It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.
