A taxi driver had 29 fares to and from the airport last Monday. The price for a ride to the airport is $4.50, and the price for

a
ride from the airport is $7. The driver collected a total of $173 for the day.
Let x represent the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport. Write the ordered

NO LINKS!! Use the method of substitution to solve the system. (If there's no solution, enter no solution). Part 11z​
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

\begin{cases}y=x^2-9\\y=4x-4\end{cases}

To solve by the method of substitution, substitute the first equation into the second equation and rearrange so that the equation equals zero:

\begin{aligned}x^2-9&=4x-4\\x^2-4x-9&=-4\\x^2-4x-5&=0\end{aligned}

Factor the quadratic:

\begin{aligned}x^2-4x-5&=0\\x^2-5x+x-5&=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)&=0\\(x+1)(x-5)&=0\end{aligned}

Apply the <u>zero-product property</u> and solve for x:

\implies x+1=0 \implies x=-1

\implies x-5=0 \implies x=5

Substitute the found values of x into the <u>second equation</u> and solve for y:

\begin{aligned}x=-1 \implies y&=4(-1)-4\\y&=-4-4\\y&=-8\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}x=5 \implies y&=4(5)-4\\y&=20-4\\y&=16\end{aligned}

Therefore, the solutions are:

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}

(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}

A piece of fabric is 2 yards long Marcus puts one patch at each end of the fabric and at each quarter foot mark how many patches
klio [65]
Conversion.
1 yard = 3 feet

So the fabric has 2 yards. Then the size of the patch is 1/4 foot. 
So the number of patches that Marcus used is..
= 3 * 2
= 6 / (1/4)
= 24 patches.

So a total of 24 patches Marcus used.
