Hello Jen

2y = 5x + 4
y = 3x + 2

We gonna solve y= 3x + 2 for y
First, let start by substitute 3x + 2 for y in 2y = 5x + 4
2y = 5x + 4
2(3x + 2) = 5x + 4
6x +4 = 5x +4
Common terms
6x - 5x = 4 - 4
x = 0
We have x so we gonna use the value of x to find y
Substitute 0 for x in y =3x + 2
y = 3x + 2
y= (3)(0)+2
y = 0 + 2
y = 2

Answers : x = 0 and y = 2

There are two solutions in this system of equation.

I hope that helps!

The question simply requires some visualisation, you must think about what the graphs of the two equations will look like and work out how many times the two graphs will intersect. Sketching may be useful.
You should recognise that both eq'ns in this question are linear (straight line graphs) so they can only either intersect once or not at all. THIS IS ONLY THE CASE IF BOTH EQUATIONS BEING DEALT WITH ARE LINEAR (i.e. no powers of x or y or any other variable that are above 1).
What you should do is ignore all the numbers that are not coefficients of letters (i.e. for ax², a is the coefficient) and rearrange to get in terms of y.
In this case:
y = 5/2x = 2.5x and y = 3x,
You can easily tell that the coefficients of x are not are not the same, this means the graphs will definitely intersect.
If the coefficients of x are the same, this means the line graphs of the two eq'ns are parallel and so will never intersect.
The x-values of every point of intersection are regarded as solutions.

We need to solve simultaneously:
There are two methods that come to mind immediately, I will give my preferred one.
I would rearrange both to give in terms of y, the second eq'n is already in terms of y so we just have to deal with the first one.
2y = 5x + 4 --> y = (5x + 4) / 2

Now, simply equate and solve the two equations, eliminating y:
(5x + 4)/2 = 3x + 2          (×2)
5x + 4 = 6x + 4               (Rearrange)
x = 0
the y-coordinate of the point of intersection is found by substituting the found x-value into either but only one of the original equations:
y = 3(0) + 2 = 2
Only Point of Intersection: (0, 2)

A moving van changes a flat rate of $25 per day plus $0.12 per mile for every mile over 100 driven.If Millie’s bill was $29.46 h
Damm [24]

Answer: 137.17 miles

Step-by-step explanation: To know the driven miles, we will have to find the extra money paid divided by the unitary price of each driven mile.

Extra money=$29.46-$25=$4.46

Miles=\frac{4.46}{0.12}=31.17 miles

However, this price per mile is only charged after 100 miles, therefore we will have to sum the extra miles driven and the 100 miles for the basis

Total=100 miles+31.17 miles=137.17

George has opened a new store and he is monitoring its success closely.
Nataly_w [17]
(r-c)(3) means that you will simply plug in the value 3 as x in the functions r(x) and c(x) and take the difference of both.

Solving for the value of the functions we'll get:
r(3)= (3)^{2}+5(3)+14=9+15+14=38
c(3)= (3)^{2}-3(3)+14=9-9+4=4
(r-c)(3)=38-4=34

Since the value is positive, we can say that the store will profit in its third month. Knowing that r(x) and c(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars, we can also say that the profit will be $3400.

ANSWER: C. The new store will have a profit of $3400 after its third month in business.
