Answer

-4y - 67 = y - 17


Step by step explanation

Let y be the unknown number.

-4 times a number minus 67 is equal to 17 less than the number.

The number is y

times means multiplication

-4y - 67 = y - 17

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

<u>Answer:</u>

-4y - 67 = y - 17

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given y to be assumed as the unknown number here in this word problem.

So we will establish the equation step by step.

-4 times a number: the number y is multiplied by -4 to give -4y

minus 67: 67 is subtracted from -4x to give -4y - 67

is equal to 17 less than the number: it means that half of the already constructed equation is equal to y - 17

so the full equation will be:

-4y - 67 = y - 17

Consider the system of linear equations 2x + 3y = 8 and 3x + y = –2. Which statement is correct?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<em>Answer: The point (1, 2) is not a solution to the system of equations because it does not satisfy the equation 3x + y = –2.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Consider the following system of equations

2x + 3y = 8      [1]

3x + y = -2       [2]

And the point (1,2). Substituting in both equations:

For equation [1]:

2*1 + 3*2 = 8

2 + 6 = 8

8 = 8

Since the equation is true, point (1,2) satisfies the equation 2x + 3y = 8

Now for equation [2]:

3*1 + 2 = -2

3 + 2 = -2

5 = -2

Since this equation is false, point (1,2) does not satisfy the equation 3x + y = -2

Answer: The point (1, 2) is not a solution to the system of equations because it does not satisfy the equation 3x + y = –2.

What is the relationship between the graphs of y = 2x and y = 2-x?
melomori [17]

Answer:

The relationship between the graphs is the intersection point at (0.667,1.333)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=2x ----> equation A

The slope of the line A is equal to m=2

The line passes through the origin

y=2-x ----> equation B

The slope of the line B is m=-1

The x-intercept is the point (2,0)

The y-intercept is the point (0,2)

Line A and Line B are not parallel (the slopes are not equal)

Line A and Line B are not perpendicular (the product of their slopes is not equal to -1)

so

The relationship between Line A and Line B is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The intersection point is (0.667,1.333)

see the attached figure

The intersection point is a common point , therefore belongs to both lines

What is the proportion of k/7=k+13/8?
Alona [7]
<span><span>K = k + 13</span><span>78</span></span> Cross multiply: K * 8 = 7 * k + 13 Simplifying K * 8 = 7 * k + 13 Reorder the terms for easier multiplication: 8K = 7 * k + 13 Reorder the terms: 8K = 7 * 13 + k 8K = 13 * 7 + k * 7 8K = 91 + 7k Solving 8K = 91 + 7k Solving for variable 'K'. Move all terms containing K to the left, all other terms to the right. Divide each side by '8'. K = 11.375 + 0.875k Simplifying K = 11.375 + 0.875k

A bicycle store costs $3250 per month to operate. The store pays an
ANEK [815]

Answer:

65 bikes

Step-by-step explanation:

The store buys the bikes that they sell for $35, and they sell them for $85, so in order to find the actual amount of money earned from one sale, you have to subtract how much they sell the bikes for by how much they bought them for, so:

85 - 35 = 50

Then, you divide the $3250 by the 50:

3250 / 50 = 65

So now we know that the store must sell 65 bikes a month to break even.
