3x + 2y = 12
subtract 3x from both sides
2y = -3x + 12
divide all terms by 2 so that you can have only the y on the left side
y = -3/2x + 6
And that is your answer!
Hope this helped!! :)
Answer:
A) 1,492
B) 1,908
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The equation set up for this part is 1,542-50=1,492 We know that we're subtracting 50 from 1,542 because it say that the plane starts below sea level.
B) The equation set up for this part is 3,400-1,492=1,908 We know that we're subtracting the answer from part A from 3,400 because the plane will need to climb the difference in order to reach 3,400.
4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.
Start with
Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with
We have 
, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.
Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with
which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.
Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with
so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with 
.
By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any 
such that
is a solution to this system, i.e. 
for any integer 
, the smallest and positive of which is 149.
7<em>m</em> + 10<em>c</em> (is less than or equal to) 100.
<em>m</em> stands for months and <em>c</em> stands for CDs.
