Solve the following system of equations 3x+4y=16 and -4x-3y = -19

3x + 4y = 16
-4x - 3y = -19

4( 3x + 4y = 16)
3( -4x - 3y = -19)
Distribute
12x + 16y = 64
-12x - 9y = -57
Now subtract both equations
7y = 7
/7 on both sides
y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in one of the equations.
3x + 4y = 16
3x + 4(1) = 16
-4 on both sides
3x = 12
/3 on both sides
x = 4

Answer:
x = 4
y = 1

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

41.14 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Cat is a high speed catamaran auto feery that operates between city A and city B.

Cat travel distance in trip =144 miles

Time taken by Cat in trip=2 and one half hours= $2+1\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{3}{2}=2+1.5=3.5 hours$

We know that speed= $\frac{Total\;distance}{time\;taken}$

Substitute the value in the given formula

Then, we get speed of Cat= $\frac{144}{3.5}=41.14 mph$

Hence, the speed of Cat=41.14 mph

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A grocery store has a 13%-off sale on all bread.

Let b represent the original price of a loaf of bread.

This means that the amount by which the price of bread was reduced would be

13/100 × b = 0.13 × b = 0.13b

The new price for the loaf of bread would be

b - 0.13b

you decide to purchase 6 loaves of bread. The expression would be

6(b - 0.13b)

Expanding the expression, it becomes

6b - 0.78b
