<span>y=x-4
y=-x+6
---------------------
Substitute x - 4 for y in </span>y=-x+6
x-4=-x+6<span>
--------------------------------
Add X on each side
</span><span>x-4+x</span>=-<span>x+6+x
</span>2x - 4 = 6
--------------------------------------
Add 4 on each side
<span>2x-4+4</span>=<span>6+4
</span>2x = 10
------------------------------------------------
Divide by 2 on each side
2x ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2
x = 5
Now we have X
================================================================
To find Y we substitute 5 for x in y=<span>x-<span>4
</span></span>y = 5 - 4
y = 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Your answers are Y = 1 and X = 5
I have no idea I’m answering this because I need to ask more questions
Answer:
Let p represent the # of pages in the book. Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.
If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night. If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.
How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night? Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."
If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:
First night: 28%
Second night: 28%
Third night: 28%
Total: 3(28%) = 84%
This leaves 16% to read on the final night.
This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.
The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.
(x+6)(x+8) = 0
x = -6 or x = -8
I'm just wondering, does the equation happen to be 2x^2 + 14x + 48? That would make more sense with the answer I got.
9q-4=3r-6
+4=+4
9r=3r-2
9/9=3r-2/9
r=3r-2/9
