Plug in the x value from the second equation
3(-y+2)+2y=12
use distributive property.
-3y+6+2y=12
since the y values are in the same side of the = sign, just put them together.
-y+6=12
subtract 6 from 6 and 12.
-y=6
since the equation has a negative y, divide what is left by -1.
y= -6.
that is the y value. now plug that in to the first equation.
3x+2(-6)=12
multiply.
3x-12=12add 12 to both 12s
3x=24
divide.
x=8.

the ordered pair is (8, -6), and the x value is 8.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 0)and (5, 2)?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

5y - 2x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line is given by,

y - y1 = ( x - x1 ) ( y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1 )

y - 0 = ( x - 0 ) ( 2 - 0 )/ ( 5 - 0 )

y = 2x /5

5y = 2x

5y - 2x = 0

This is the required equation.

Marcus' employee benefits include family health care coverage. He contributes 25% of the cost. Marcus gets paid weekly and $102
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Monthly amount, M = $102×4 = $408.

Also, yearly amount, Y = M×12 = $408×12 = $4896

It is given that 25% of the cost is contributed by Marcus.

Amount Marcus paid

=\dfrac{\$4896 \times 25 }{100}\\\\= \$1224

Therefore, his employer contribution annually for coverage is $( 4896 - 1224)=$3672.

Hence, this is the required solution.
