Answer:

The solution is x=8/3 y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y =8

y = 3/4x -2

We will use substitution since the second equation is already solved for y

Substitute the second equation into the first

3x+4(3/4x-2) = 8

Distribute the 4

3x +3x -8 = 8

6x -8 = 8

Add 8 to each side

6x -8+8 = 8+8

6x = 16

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 16/6

x = 8/3

Now we need to find y

y = 3/4 x -2

Substitute x=8/3

y = 3/4 (8/3) -2

y = 8/4 -2

y =2-2

y=0

The solution is x=8/3 y=0

3x +4y = 8

y = 3/4x - 2

Substitution Method

3x + 4(3/4x -2) = 8

Distributive Property:

3x + 3x -8 = 8

Simplify:

6x -8 = 8

Add 8 to each side:

6x = 16

Divide both sides by 6"

x = 16/6

x = 2 2/3

Now replace x with that and solve for y:

y = 3/4(2 2/3) - 2

y = 2-2 = 0

y=0

How many positive integers less than 1000 (a) are divisible by 7? justify your answer?
mote1985 [20]
142. 

You can get this by seeing what number you have to multiply 7 by to get as close to 1000 as you can. 7*142 = 994. Thus each one of the multiplications up to that point will give you a positive integer than can be divided by 7. <span />

A bacteria culture starts with 880 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. after 5 hours there will be 4400 bacte
Alina [70]
Don't know whether or not you've encountered differential equations yet, but will try that approach here.

The growth rate is dy/dt  = ky (which states that the rate is proportional to the size of the population, y, and k is a constant.

Grouping like terms,  

dy
--- = kt, so y = Ne^kt
 y

We are told that at t=0, there are 880 bacteria.  Thus, 880=N.  Therefore,

y = 880e^(kt).  After 5 hours the pop will be 4400; using this info, find k:

4400=880e^(5k), or 5 = e^(5k).    So, our y = 880e^(kt) becomes

                                                                   y = 880e^(5t).

What will be the pop after 2 hours?           y(2)=880e^(10) = 880(22026) =
                                                                   approx. 19,383,290 bacteria

Time to reach a pop of 2550?  2550 = 880e^(5t).  Find t.

ln 2550 = ln 880 + 5t, so ln 2550 - ln 880 = 5t.  Divide both sides by 5 to obtain this time, t.

A produce store sold 45 red apples. If the ratio of red apples to green apples sold was 5 : 2, what is the combined amount of re
lisabon 2012 [21]

The ratio of Red Apples to Green Apples is 5:2. The proportion of red apple is 5/7.

The store sold 45 red apples.

So the combined amount of red and green apples sold = No of red apples sold divided by the proportion of red apples = 45/ (5/7) = 63

The combined amount of red and green apples sold is 63 apples.
