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

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The indifference point is 8 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First, we establish the total cost formula for each:</u>

x= number of weeks

Club:

Total cost= 20 + 15*x

Retail:

Total cost= 17.5*x

<u>Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:</u>

20 + 15x = 17.5x

20 = 2.5x

8=x

The indifference point is 8 weeks.

<u>Prove:</u>

Total cost= 20 + 15*8= $140

Total cost= 17.5*8= $140

The sum of two numbers is 31.5. The difference is 5.25. Find the numbers
ANTONII [103]
X+y=31.5
x-y=5.25

add 2 equations
x+y+x-y=31.5+5.25
2x=36.75
x=18.375
y=31.5-18.375=13.125
check : 18.375+13.125=31.5, 
18.375-13.125=5.25 
so
Answer:
18.375 and 13.125
