Let the cost of gasoline in the year 2000 be represented b the equation
y = a + b*x
where
x = months, counted from January
y = cost, dollars
The given data in the table is
Month: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
x, months: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
y, dollars: --- --- --- --- 1.76 2.13 --- --- --- --- --- ---
When x = 5, y = 1.76.
Therefore
a + 5b = 1.76 (1)
When x = 6, y = 2.13
Therefore
a + 6b = 2.13 (2)
Subtract equation (1) from (2).
a + 6b - (a + 5b) = 2.13 - 1.76
b = 0.37
From (1), obtain
a = 1.76 - 5b
= 1.76 - 5*0.37
= -0.09
The required equation is
y = 0.37x - 0.09
The graph shows the line, with the given data for May and June.
Answer: D. y = 0.37x - 0.09
Answer:
The system has infinitely solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
we have


Multiply by 3 both sides
----> equation A
The equation A is a circle centered at origin with radius 
and


Divide by 5 both sides
----> equation B
The equation B is a circle centered at origin with radius 
Equation A and Equation B are the same
Therefore
The system has infinitely solutions
(1/36) = 0.0277777777778
(1/108)^3 = 7.9383224102<span> x 10^-7 </span>
(1/9)^4 = 0.000152415790276
(1/6)^2 = 0.0277777777778
(1/2)^5 = <span>0.03125
The only one that matches with the value of 1/36 is (1/6)^2. Therefore, your answer is C. (1/6)^2

Answer:
x = 7000
y = 5600
(7000, 5600)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of equations means to find the point of intersection (graphically). You are finding what value of 'x' and what value of 'y' fits both equations.
x = y + 1400
0.08x + 0.05y = 840
We can solve using the method <u>substitution</u>, where you replace a variable in one equation with an equivalent expression.
<u>Since "x" is y + 1400, we can replace "x" in the second equation.</u>
0.08x + 0.05y = 840
0.08(y + 1400) + 0.05y = 840
Distribute over brackets by multiplying 0.08 with y, then 0.08 with 1400.
0.08y + 112 + 0.05y = 840 Collect like terms (with "y" variable)
112 + 0.13y = 840
Now isolate "y" in the simplified equation.
112 - 112 + 0.13y = 840 - 112 Subtract 112 from both sides
0.13y = 728
0.13y/0.13 = 728/0.13 Divide both sides by 0.13
y = 5600 Solved for y
We can substitute "y" with 5600 in any other equation that has "x".
x = y + 1400
x = 5600 + 1400 Add
x = 7000 Solved for x
You may express the answer as a coordinate, or an ordered pair (x, y).
The solution is (7000, 5600).
