Lamar works as a tutor for $7 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour . this month he worked a combined total of 92 hours at his
ira [324]

t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor 
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.

So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars

This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644 
736-92= 644 
So our expression seems to be working.

If the ratio of y to x is equal to 3 and the sum of y and x is 80, what is value of y
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Step 1: Make sense of the given</h3>

"The ratio of y to x is 3"

This means that, y\div x=3

"The sum of y and x is 80"

This means,  x+y=80

<h3>Step 2: Make use of the facts</h3>

If y\div x=3, then y = (3*x).

We can plug this into the other equation by substitution:

x + (3 * x)=80

This simplifies to:

4x = 80

Which we can solve out and get:
x=20.

<h3>Step 3: Plug and Chug</h3>

We solved for x, but we need the value of y.

So, we go back to the equation we first derived: "y = (3*x)".

And now we substitute the value of x, into this.

y = (3 * (20))

By solving this out, we get:
y=60

So, the value of y is 60.

Y = -2x + 8<br> y = x^2 - 9x + 18<br><br> solve the system of nonlinear equation
ryzh [129]

Substitution

-2x+8=x^2-9x+18

x^2-7x+10=0

Factoring, we get

(x-5)(x-2)=0

x=5, x=2

If x equals 5,

y=-2(5)+8=

-10+8=

-2

Therefore, we derive our first solution:

<h2><u><em>x=5,</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>y=-2</em></u></h2>

Now we solve for our second x

If x=2,

y=-4+8=

4

Therefore, we derive our second solution:

<h2><u><em>x=2</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>y=4</em></u></h2>

<u><em></em></u>
