Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y ≥ 20

Substitute the point (2,5) in for x and y and see the inequality is true

2(2) +3(5) ≥ 20

4 + 15 ≥ 20

19 ≥ 20

This is not true, so (2,5) is not a solution

Steps to solve:

2x + 3y ≥ 20; x = 2, y = 5

~Substitute

2(2) + 3(5) ≥ 20

~Simplify

4 + 15 ≥ 20

~Simplify

19 ≥ 20

The inequality is NOT true. Therefore, (2,5) is NOT a solution to the inequality.

Best of Luck!

An investor invested a total of $2500 in two mutual funds. One fund earned a 5% profit while the other earned a 3% profit. If th

Answer:

$500 and $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total investment = $2500

also, this total is split into two different funds

Lets represent these funds as a and b, such that fund a yields a profit of 3% and fund b yield a profit of 5%

So,

a + b = x

a + b = 2500 ......eq 1

Profit from each fund gives;

0.03 a + 0.05b = 115 ....eq 2

Solve simultaneously using substitution method

From eq 1;

b = 2500 - a

Slot in this value in eq 2

0.03a + 0.05 (2500 - a) = 115

expand

0.03a + 125 - 0.05a = 115

collect like terms

0.03a - 0.05a = 115 - 125

-0.02a = -10

Divide both sides by -0.02

a = $500

Put this value of a in eq 1

500 + b = 2500

Subtract 500 from both sides

b = 2500 - 500

b = $2000

Graphing linear equations

ella [17]

Answer:

To ensure uniformity on an exam

To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:

$ax + by = c$

Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is

$2x - y = - 4$

The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:

$y = mx + c$

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The given equation is

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 5$

This is already in slope-intercept form:

The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.

Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.

You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.
