Mathematics
1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

x = 2,  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1

ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4

iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1   ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y =  1   ⇒  7y = 21  ∴ y = 3

iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.

v) Therefore x = 2.

We take the equation <span>d = -16t^2+12t</span> and subtract d from both sides to get
                                         0<span> = -16t^2+12t - d
We apply the quadratic formula to solve for t. With a = -16, b = 12, c = -d, we have
                                         t = [ -(12) </span><span>± √( 12^2 - 4(-16)(-d) ) ] / [2 * -16]</span>
                                           = [- 12 ± √(144-64d) ] / (-32)
                                           = [- 12 ± √16(9-4d)] / (-32)
                                           = [- 12 ± 4√(9-4d)] / (-32)
                                           = 3/8 ±√(9-4d) / 8
The answer to your question is t = 3/8 ±√(9-4d) / 8

Help me with number 8
kirza4 [7]
Supreme sold 29 tires.  Set it up like this, with Supreme as your x and Prestige as y: 48x + 56y = 2008.  This is an equation in terms of money, with x being the number of Supreme tires sold at $48 each and y being the number of Prestige tires sold at $56 each. We know that Prestige sold 11, so sub it for y and do the math: 48x = 2008 - 616; x = 29
