We want to use the Addition-Subtraction method to solve
8.92x - 5.42y = 3.41 (1)
5.83x + 1.07y = 2.37 (2)
We shall eliminate y from the two equations by Addition.
Multiply (1) by 1.07 and multiply (2) by 5.42 to obtain
1.07*(8.92x - 5.42y) = 1.07*3.41
9.5444x - 5.7994y = 3.6487 (3)
5.42*(5.83x + 1.07y) = 5.42*2.37
31.5986x + 5.7994y = 12.8454 (4)
Add (3) and (4) to obtain
9.5444x - 5.7994y + 31.5986x + 5.7944y = 3.6487 + 12.8454
41.143x = 16.4941
x = 0.4009
From (2), obtain
1.07y = 2.37 - 5.83x
= 2.37 - 5.83*0.4009
= 0.0328
y = 0.0307
Answer:
x = 0.4009
y = 0.0307
Cost per ounce means you take the cost and divide it by the cost:
<span>3.36 / (21/2) </span>
<span>division of fractions changes to the multiplication of the reciprocal: </span>
<span>3.36 * (2 / 21) </span>
<span>3.36 and has 21 as a factor, so let's cancel it: </span>
<span>0.16 * 2 </span>
<span>$0.32 per ounce</span>
Answer:
24 and 48
Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52
3x + 20 = 52
3x = 72
x = 24
The father is 2 times his son's age.
2x
= 2(24)
= 48
So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.
10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.
Answer:
H
Step-by-step explanation:
use slope of -2/3 and point (-4.5, 10) as input into the slope-intercept form of a line, which is y = mx + b
10 = -2/3(-9/2) + b
10 = 3 + b
7 = b
y = -2/3x + 7
Answer:
(2×1+2)+(2×2+2)+(2×3+2)+(2×4+2)
