y = -2x + 9
y = 4x - 3
y is isolated in both equations, thus you may set the expressions (-2x + 9) and (4x - 3) equal to each other and solve for x.
-2x + 9 = 4x - 3
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-2x + 9 - 9 = 4x - 3 - 9
-2x = 4x - 12
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-2x - 4x = 4x - 12 - 4x
-6x = -12
Divide both sides by -6.
-6x/-6 = -12/-6
x = 2
Substitute 2 for x into one of the original equations to find y.
y = 4x - 3 (given)
y = 4(2) - 3 (substitute)
y = 8 - 3 (multiply)
y = 5 (subtract)
Plug x- and y-values into original equations to check work.
5 = -2(2) + 9
5 = - 4 + 9
5 = 5
5 = 4(2) - 3
5 = 8 - 3
5 = 5
Answer:
x = 2 and y = 5; (2, 5).
Answer:
3 nickels and 5 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number of nickels
q = number of quarters
q = n+2
.25q + .05n = 1.40
Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation
.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40
Distribute
.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40
Combine like terms
.30n +.5 = 1.40
Subtract .5 from each side
.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4
.3n = .9
Divide by .3
.3n/.3 = .9/.3
n = 3
q = n+2
q=5

Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
we can take two points on the line: (0,2) and (4,3)
to find slope:(2-3)/(0-4)
1/4
Answer:
Step 1
Write and solve the inequality:
2,500 + 40a ≥ 4,000, or 40a ≥ 1,500
a ≥ 37.5
Step 2
If the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs,
or 40 animals, that will be enough to meet
its goal, because a = 40 is a solution to the
inequality a ≥ 37.5.
