Answer:

The x coordinate of the solution is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

* To find the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of the

  equations y = x + 4 and 3y = -2x + 2 solve the equations by the

  substitution method

- In the substitution method we substitute one of the two variables

 by the other to make an equation of one variable

∵ y = x + 4 ⇒ (1)

∵ 3y = -2x + 2 ⇒ (2)

- Substitute the value of y in equation (2) by the value of y in equation (1)

∵ The value y = 4 + x in the equation (1)

- Put this value of y in the equation (2)

∴ 3(x + 4) = -2x + 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 3x + 12 = -2x + 2 ⇒ subtract 12 from both sides

∴ 3x = -2x - 10 ⇒ add 2x to both sides

∴ 5x = -10 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x = -2

* The x coordinate of the solution is -2

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is:

x=-2

<h2>Why?</h2>

We can solve the problem writing both equations as a system of equations.

So, we are given the equations:

\left \{ {{y=x+4} \atop {3y=-2x+2}} \right.

Then, solving by reduction we have:

Multiplying the first equation by 2 in order to reduce the variable "x", we have:

\left \{ {{2y=2x+2*4} \atop {3y=-2x+2}} \right.

5y=2x-2x+8+2\\\\5y=8+2\\\\y=\frac{10}{5}=2

Now, substituting "y" into the first equation, to isolate "x" we have:

y=x+4\\\\2=x+4\\\\x=2-4=-2

Hence we have that the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is

x=-2

Have a nice day!

The number of mosquitoes at the beach has increased by 50% every year since 2012. In 2012, there were 2,500 mosquitoes. How many
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2012 = 2500

2500 x .50 = 1250

2500 + 1250

2013 = 3750

3750 x .50 =

3750 + 1875

2014 = 5625

5625 x .50 = 2812.5

5625 + 2812.5

2015= 8437.5

8437.5 x .50 = 4218.75

8437.5 + 4218.75

2016= 12656.25

12656.25 x .50 = 6328.125

12656.25 + 6328.125

2017= 18984.375

18984.375 x .50 = 9492.1875

18984.375 + 9492.1875

2018= 28,476.5625‬

(0,-5) \\&#10;x_1=0 \\ y_1=-5 \\  \\&#10;(4,2) \\&#10;x_2=4 \\ y_2=2 \\ \\&#10;\hbox{the slope } = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-(-5)}{4-0}=\frac{2+5}{4}=\frac{7}{4}

The slope is 7/4.

A long distance phone service charges $0.30 for the first 10 minutes and $0.05 for each additional minute or fraction thereof. U
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: Our Cost function is discontinuous at every integer after x>10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

For the first 10 minutes , the service charges = $0.30

Let the number of additional minute be 't'.

Amount charge for each additional minute = $0.05

Using the greatest integer function:

So, Cost C of a call in terms of time 't' minutes would be

C=0.03+0.05\left \lceil t-10 \right \rceil

As we know that Greatest integer is discontinuous at every integer.

So, our Cost function is discontinuous at every integer after x>10.
