Given:
8000 homes
color flyers : $0.08 each
black and white flyers : $0.05 each
budget of $500

c + b = 8,000
0.08c + 0.05b = 500

c = 8,000 - b
0.08(8,000 - b) + 0.05b = 500
640 - 0.08b + 0.05b = 500
-0.03b = 500 - 640
-0.03b = -140
b = -140 / -0.03
b = 4,667 black and white flyers

c = 8,000 - b
c = 8,000 - 4,667
c = 3,333 colored flyers

0.08(c) + 0.05(b) = 500
0.08(3,333) + 0.05(4,667) = 500
266.64 + 233.35 = 500
499.99 = 500
500 = 500

Answer:

(7, 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply second equation by 2 and subtract.

3x - 4y = 19

- (4x - 4y = 26)

You get -x = -7

x = 7

Substitute x into any equation.

3(7) - 4y = 19

21 - 4y = 19

-4y = -2

y = 1/2

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

length = 8ft
height = 4 in
width = w ft --> u looking for this

convert in to ft for the height:

4 in (1 ft / 12 in) = 1/3 ft

You know that:
1 cubic yard = $ 98
? cubic yard = $58.07

Solve for ? cubic yard:
? cubic yard = 58.07/98 = 0.592551

convert this in cubic feet:
1 yard = 3 feet
0.59255 cubic yard (27 cubic ft/1 cubic yard) = 15.99887755 cubic ft

Now solve for the width:
length x width x height = ? cubic ft.
width = ? cubic ft / (length x height) =15.99887755 cubic ft/[(8ft)(1/3 ft )] = 5.999579082 ft

approx 6 ft
