Solve Systems by Substitution 2x+5y=-3 x+8y=4 and 2x+y=7 x-2y=-14

1 answer:

4 0

2x + 5y = -3 ⇒ 2x + 5y = -3
1x + 8y = 4 ⇒ 2x + 16y = 8
 -11y = -11 
 -11 -11
 y = 1
 2x + 5(1) = -3
 2x + 5 = -3
 -5 -5
 2x = -8
 2 2
 x = -4
 (x, y) = (-4, 1)

2x + 1y = 7 ⇒ 2x + 1y = 7
1x - 2y = -14 ⇒ 2x - 4y = -28
 5y = 35
 5 5
 y = 7
 2x + 7 = 7
 -7 -7
 2x = 0
 2 2
 x = 0
 (x, y) = (0, 7)

The temperature in the late afternoon

Fantom [35]

Answer:

-7.5 - (8.5 + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We just add together the values of how much it dropped at different parts of the day, and subtract them from what we started with. The parenthesis are important cause we want to know what the total temperature drop for the day was before we subtract it to get the actual temperature we end up with.

Gretchen can buy 17.4 ounces of Brand A toothpaste for $5.22, or she can buy 26.6 ounces of Brand B toothpaste for $6.65. Which

konstantin123 [22]

Price of Brand A toothpaste for 17.4 ounces = $5.22
Price of Brand A toothpaste for 1 ounce = $5.22/17.4 = 0.3
Price of Brand B toothpaste for 26.6 ounces = $6.65
Price of Brand B toothpaste for 1 ounces = $6.65/26.6 = 0.25
So, if we see the price for per ounce of brand A and B, price of Brand B per ounce is less than brand A.
and if we find the difference between the prices of both = 0.3 - 0.25 = 0.05

Thus, the correct answer is "D", Brand B is the better deal, because it costs $0.05 less per ounce than Brand A".
