Answer:

x = 1

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Substitution Method:</h2>

Step 1:

Name The Equation

4x + y = 7 ...(1)

3x + 2y = 9 ...(2)

Step 2:

From Equation (1) we get,

4x = 7 - y

i.e.,

x = 7 - y/4

Step 3:

Substitute the value of x = 7 - y/4 in equation (2)

i.e.,

3(7 - y/4) + 2y = 9

21 - 3y/4 + 2y = 9

21 - 3y + 8y/4 = 9

21 - 3y + 8y = 9 * 4

21 + 5y = 36

5y = 36 - 21

5y = 15

y = 15/5

y = 3

Step 4:

Substitute the value of y = 3 in equation (1)

4x + y = 7

i.e.,

4x + (3) = 7

4x + 3 = 7

4x = 7 - 4

4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1

<h2>Verification: </h2>

4x + y = 7 i.e., 4(1) + (3) = 7

3x + 2y = 9 i.e., 3(1) + 2(3) = 9

What is the image of (−8,−8) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 centered at the origin?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

(-4,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is centered at (0,0), we have to multiply the x and the y coordinates by the scale factor.

-8 × 1/2 = -4

A ferry departs from a port along the Sands River at 10:00 am. The ferry travels at a speed of 15 mph in still water and returns

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance covered

Let x be the speed of the rivers current

Speed upstream = 15-x

speed downstream = 15+x

Time = distance / speed

time upstream = $\frac{d}{15-x}$

time downstream = $\frac{d}{15+x}$

the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream

$\frac{d}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2d}{15+x}$

divide both sides by d

$\frac{1}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2}{15+x}$

cross multiply

$15+x= 2(15-x)$

$15+x= 30-2x$

Add 2x on both sideds

$15+3x= 30$

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

$3x=15$

x=5

Speed of river's current = 5 mph
