2x + y = 20

-5y = -6x + 12


To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:

2x + y = 20     Subtract 2x on both sides

y = 20 - 2x


-5y = -6x + 12   (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)

-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12       Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)

-100 + 10x = -6x +12      Add 100 on both sides

10x = -6x + 112        Add 6x on both sides

16x = 112           Divide 16 on both sides

x = 7


Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:

2x + y = 20

2(7) + y = 20

14 + y = 20    Subtract 14 on both sides

y = 6


-5y = -6x + 12

-5y = -6(7) + 12

-5y = -42 + 12

-5y = -30       Divide -5 on both sides

y = 6


x = 7, y = 6

Elena makes banana bread and nut bread to sell at the market. A loaf of banana bread requires 2 cups of flour and 2 eggs. A loaf
9966 [12]

Let x be the number of loaves of banana bread and y be the number of loaves of nyt bread Elena makes.

1. A loaf of banana bread requires 2 cups of flour and 2 eggs, then x loaves require 2x cups of flour and 2x eggs.

2. A loaf of nut bread takes 3 cups of flour and 1 egg, then y loaves require 3y cups of flour and y eggs.

3. Elena has 12 cups flour, then

2x+3y≤12.

4. Elena has 8 eggs, then

2x+y≤8.

5. If she makes $1.50 profit per loaf of banana bread and $2 per loaf of nut bread, then she makes total profit of $(1.50x+2y).

The solution of system of two inequalities

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+3y\le 12\\2x+y\le 8\end{array}\right.

is represented in the attached diagram.

The maximal profit can be obtained at point (3,2), where

\$(1.50\cdot 3+2\cdot 2)=\$8.5.

Answer: correct choice is C (Elena could make 3 loaves of banana bread and 2 loaves of nut bread to maximize her profit)

Find the equation of the line through point (-5,5) and perpendicular to y = 5/9x - 4
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

9x+5y=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

y = \frac{5}{9} x - 4

compare with that y=mx+c

where m=slope .

So after comparing we get m=\frac{5}{9}

As the lines are perpendicular

m1*m2=\ -1

m2 \ =\ \frac{-1}{m1}

therefore m2=\frac{-9}{5}

Now from the equation

y - b = m(x - a ) this equation passing to the point (-5,5) with m=\frac{-9}{5}

y-5=\frac{-9}{5} (x+5)\\5y-25=-9x\ -45\\9x+5y=-20

Therefore equation is

9x+5y=-20

Side PV measures 35 meters. Find the value of VT rounded to thenearest tenth if necessary.
Strike441 [17]

By definition,

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

From the picture,

sin(60°) = VT/PV

√3/2 = VT/35

√3/2*35 = VT

30.3 meters = VT
