Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello

from 4x-y=8 we can say that y = 4x-8

we substitute in the first equation to get

5x + 4 (4x-8) = 10

then

5x + 16 x -32 = 10

<=> 21x = 32+10=42

<=> x = 42/21 = 2

and then y = 8-8=0

don t hesitate if you need any further explanation

thanks

Answer: x = 2, y = 0 or (2 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving using substitution is where you solve for a variable in one of the two equations in the system then plug it into the other.

For an easier plug in we can take the second equation. 4x-y = 8.

From here we need to isolate the y variable which is easier to isolate than x, in my opinion.

Subtract the 4x over.

-y = 8-4x

Now divide by a -1 so y is positive.

y= -8 + 4x

Now plug this in for y in the other equation.

5x + 4(-8 + 4x) = 10

Distribute the 4.

5x - 32 + 16x = 10

Combine like terms

21x - 32 = 10

Add the 32.

21x = 42

Divide by 21.

x = 2

Now that we have solved for one variable we can plug this into either equation and solve for the other.

I will plug it into the second equation.

4(2) - y = 8

Simplify.

8 - y = 8

Subtract 8.

-y = 0

Divide by -1.

y = 0

So the x and y values are.

x = 2

y = 0

The weight of an object on Earth varies directly as the weight of the same object on the moon. A 300 pound object on Earth would

slava [35]

Answer: 12 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we'll use the direct proportion which is.

y = kx

Where,

y = weight on moon = 48 pounds

x = weight on Earth = 300 pounds

k = Unknown

y = kx

48 = 300k

k = 48/300

k = 0.16

The weight that a 75 pound object on Earth would weigh on the moon will be:

y = kx

where,

y = weight on moon = Unknown

k = 0.16

x = weight on Earth = 75 pounds

y = kx

y= 0.16 × 75

y = 12 pounds

The weight on the moon will be 12 pounds.

Kabul’s bookshop marks up all books by 40 percent of their cost. The overhead rate is 16 percent of the selling price. What is t

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The net profit rate on the book is 5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The marks up percentage of book = m = 40%

The overhead rate is 16% of selling price

The cost price of book = c.p = $18.10

Let The profit = $p

Let The selling price = s.p

Now, According to question

mark up percentage = $\dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$

I.e 40% = $\dfrac{s.p - 18.10}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{40}{100}$ + 1 = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, $\dfrac{140}{100}$ = $\dfrac{s.p}{18.10}$

Or, s. p = $\dfrac{140\times 18.10}{100}$

∴ s.p = $25.34

So, selling price of book = s.p = $25.34

Now, The overhead percentage = 16%

i.e overhead rate = $\dfrac{\textrm estimated cost}{\textrm estimated total base unit}$

Or, estimated cost = 16% × 25.34

I,e estimated cost = 0.16 × 25.34

∴ estimated cost = $4.05

Now,

Profit = selling price of book - estimated book cost

I.e p = $25.34 - $4.05

∴ p = $21.29

So, The profit rate% = $\dfrac{\textrm profit}{\textrm estimated cost}$

I.e The profit rate% = $\dfrac{21.29}{4.05}$

∴ profit rate %= 5.41

So, The profit rate = p = 5.41

Hence, The net profit rate on the book is 5.41 Answer
