Answer:
A.) x-y=2 and x+2y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
For option A, we have:
x-y=2
x+2y=-2
Subtract the first equation from the second, to get:
2y--y=-2-2
This implies that:
2y+y=-2-2
Simplify to get:
3y=-4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
We substitute y=-1.3 into the first equation to get:
x--1.3=2
x+1.3=2
x=2-1.3
x=0.7
The solution is (0.7,-1.3), which is approximately (0.7, -1.4)
By inspection, all the other factors have solutions not close to (0.7, -1.4)
Answer:
600 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically we can write both plans as linear functions:
F(x) = $59.96+$0.14 . x
S(x) = $71.96+$0.12 . x
Where F(x) is the first plan, S(x) is the second one and X are the miles driven.
To know how many miles does Mai need to drive for the two plans to cost the same, we equalize both equations and isolate x.
F(x) = S (x)
Mai has to drive 600 miles for the two plans to cost the same-
