Answer:

10x + 3 = 6x + 5

Based on this, we have the lines y=10x+3 and y=6x+5. Both of the equations are linear, so they are straight lines when graphed. A system of straight lines can only have one solution maximum.

Solution:

x = 1/2

y = 8

(1/2 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by expanding with the distributive property, then simplify by collecting like terms.

5(2x + 1) - 2 = 6x + 5     Multiply "5" with each term in the brackets.

10x + 5 - 2 = 6x + 5       Collect left side's like terms (5 - 2 = 3)

10x + 3 = 6x + 5

Based on this, we have the lines <u>y=10x+3 and y=6x+5</u>. A solution is the same as the POI (point of intersection). Both of the equations are linear, so they are straight lines when graphed. A system of straight lines can only have one solution maximum.

Some linear systems might have no solutions (when the lines are parallel) or infinite solutions (when the lines are equivalent, the same).

To find the solution, continue with the equation and isolate "x". This will give you the x-coordinate of the point of intersection.

To isolate 'x', move everything to the other side of 'x'. To move something, you do its reverse operation to both sides in reverse BEDMAS order.

10x + 3 = 6x + 5

10x - 6x + 3 = 6x - 6x + 5     Subtract 6x from both sides

4x + 3 = 5     "6x" cancelled out on the right. Simplified left (10x-6x=4x)

4x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3      Subtract 3 on both sides. "3" on the left will cancel out

4x = 2      The right side was simplified (5 - 3 = 2).

4x/4 = 2/4      Divide both sides by 4 to isolate 'x'. Simplify right side.

x = 1/2          Solution's x-coordinate

Substitute what you found for 'x' into any equation that has 'y' (either <u>y=10x+3 or y=6x+5</u>). I will choose the first equation.

y = 10x + 3      

y = 10(1/2) + 3        Multiply 1/2 and 10

y = 5 + 3       Add

y = 8          Solution's y-coordinate

Therefore the solution is when x=1/2 and y=8, or as an ordered pair, (1/2 , 8).

Find the angle between the given vector in degrees. u=&lt;6, 4&gt;, v=&lt;7, 5&gt; HELPPPPPPPPPP
Paladinen [302]

Recall that

\vec a\cdot\vec b=\|\vec a\|\|\vec b\|\cos\theta

where \theta is the angle between the vectors \vec a,\vec b whose magnitudes are \|\vec a\|,\|\vec b\|, respectively.

We have

\langle6,4\rangle\cdot\langle7,5\rangle=\sqrt{6^2+4^2}\sqrt{7^2+5^2}\cos\theta

\cos\theta=\dfrac{31}{\sqrt{962}}\implies\theta\approx88.2^\circ

For a class picnic two teachers went to the same store to purchase drinks one teacher purchased 18 juice boxes and 32 bottles of
makkiz [27]

Cost of each juice boxes is $ 0.68 and cost of each water bottle is $ 0.24

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "j" be the cost of each juice box

Let "w" be the cost of each bottles of water

<em><u>One teacher purchased 18 juice boxes and 32 bottles of water and spent $19.92</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

18 x cost of each juice box + 32 x cost of each bottles of water = 19.92

18 \times j + 32 \times w = 19.92

18j + 32w = 19.92 ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The other teacher Purchased 14 Juice Boxes and 26 Boxes of water and spent $15.76</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

14 x cost of each juice box + 26 x cost of each bottles of water = 15.76

14 \times j + 26 \times w = 15.76

14j + 26w = 15.76 ----------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 7</u></em>

126j + 224w = 139.44 -------- eqn 3

<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 9</u></em>

126j + 234w = 141.84 ---------- eqn 4

<em><u>Subtract eqn 3 from eqn 4</u></em>

126j + 234w = 141.84

126j + 224w = 139.44

( - ) --------------------

10w = 2.4

Divide both sides by 10

w = 0.24

<em><u>Substitute w = 0.24 in eqn 1</u></em>

18j + 32(0.24) = 19.92

18j + 7.68 = 19.92

18j = 12.24

Divide both sides by 18

j = 0.68

Thus cost of each juice boxes is $ 0.68 and cost of each water bottle is $ 0.24

If y is proportional to x and y=4 when x=6 what is the constant of proportionality between them (ratio of x to y) please show yo
Andru [333]
6/4 = x/y
the ratio is 3/2 because you are dividing the numerator and denominator by 2 because that is only that 6 and 4 can go into and you get 3:2
