You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?
First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!
In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32
In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40
Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!
3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation
-3X. - 3X
Net result: Y= 32- 3X
Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable
2X + 3(32-3X) = $40
2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation
-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides
-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7
X= 8
Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32
3(8) + Y = $32
24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides
y = 8
ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8
If I am wrong I am sorry >_<
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x)=4x-6
It will start at -6C and every hour we will be going up by 4
We have that
<span>y=1/2x-3
1) the slope of this line equation is m=(1/2)
2) the coordinates of the y intercept are
for x=0
y=-3
point (0,-3)
3)</span>the coordinates of the x intercept are
for y=0
0=(1/2)x-3------> (1/2)x=3----> x=6
point (6,0)
<span>if the line is dilated by a factor of 3
then
</span>y=1/2x-3--------> 3y=3*[1/2x-3]-----> 3y=(3/2)x-9
3y=(3x-18)/2-------> y=(3x-18)/6--------> y=(3/6)x-18/6
y=(3/6)x-18/6
so
1) the slope of this line equation is m=(3/6)-----> 3/6=1/2
2) the coordinates of the y intercept are
for x=0
y=-18/6-------> y=-3
point (0,-3)
3)the coordinates of the x intercept are
for y=0
0=(3/6)x-18/6------> (3/6)x=18/6----> x=18/3------> x=6
point (6,0)
therefore
the equation of the line
y=1/2x-3 is the same that the equation of the line y=(3/6)x-18/6
<span>the equation does not change because the slope and the x and y intercepts do not change either</span>
