Answer:

x = 3

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 3 ---------eqn 1

x - y = 3 --------eqn 2

Using eqn 2 to find the value of y

x - y = 3

Making y the subject of the formula

x - 3 = y

y = x - 3

Substitute the value of y into eqn 1

x + 2y = 3

x + 2(x - 3) = 3

Open the bracket

x + 2x - 6 = 3

3x - 6 = 3

3x = 3 +6

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3, to get value of x

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3

To get the value of y, use eqn 2

x - y = 3

3 - y = 3

3 - 3 = y

y = 0

Hint, to know maybe the values are correct, insert the values into the equation

Let's use eqn 2

x - y = 3

x = 3

y = 0

Insert into the equation

x - y = 3

3 - 0 = 3

Our values are correct

A gas stove that normally sells for $749 is on sale at a 30% discount. What is the sale price of the gas stove

Virty [35]

The answer is 224.7 you got to turn 30% into decimal which is 0.30
then multiply 0.30 and 749 which equals 224.7

Write as an expression: a number that is equal to twice as much as x

lesantik [10]

Let's call the number we're looking for $y$ . We know that $y$ is twice as much as $x$ .

Twice as much as a number simply means the double of that number, and in turn the double of a number means to muliply that number by 2.

So, in order to obtain $y$ , you have to multply $x$ by 2. In formula, you have

$y = 2\cdot x$ or simply $y = 2x$

laila [671]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Uninhibited growth can be modeled by exponential functions other than $A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$ . for example, if an initial population P₀ requires n units of time to triple, then the function $P(t)=P_{0}(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }$ models the size of the population at time t. An insect population grows exponentially. Complete the parts a through d below.

a) If the population triples in 30 days, and 50 insects are present initially, write an exponential function of the form $P(t)=P_{0}(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }$ that models the population.

b) What will the population be in 47 days?

c) When wil the population reach 750?

d) Express the model from part (a) in the form $A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$ .

Answer: a) $P(t)=50(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$
