Solve the top equation for x and then substitute that into the bottom equation and solve for y:
Top equation: subtract 4 from both sides to get x = y - 4
Substitution and simplify:
y = 4(y - 4) - 10
y = 4y - 16 - 10
y = 4y - 26
-3y = -26
y = 26/3 or 8 1/3 or 8.333 (those are all the same but in different forms)
Answer:
(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the zero product property
x-a = 0 x-b = 0 where a and b are the zeros
(x-a)(x-b) =0
(x- -3)(x -8) =0
(x+3) (x-8) =0

Answer:
- 7 pounds of fish
- 18.5 pounds of lobster
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...
4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25
4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify
4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375
x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75
The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.
