s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Thomas earns 18.80 per hour for the first 40 hours of work in a week. This means that the total amount that he earned in the first

40 hours of work would be

40 × 18.8 = $752

He earns 1 and a half times and that amount per hour for each hour he works over 40 hours in a week. This amount per hour would be

1.5 × 18.8 = $28.2

Last week, Mr Thomas worked 45.5 hours. The extra hours that he worked is 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours.

Amount earned for 5.5 hours is

5.5 × 28.2 = $155.1

Total amount that Mr Thomas earned is

752 + 155.1 = $907.1

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each

grigory [225]

Answer:

1. 20 pounds

2. $11

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this up, you have to use a system of equations. It would look like this, where $p$ is pounds and $t$ is total cost:

UPS: $t=7+0.20p$

FedEx: $t=5+0.30p$

In order to solve a system of equations you must either a.) graph it, or b.) set them equal to each other.

If you graph it, the answer is where the two lines intersect.

If you set them equal to each other, solve it.

I will set them equal to each other in this:

$7+0.20p=5+0.30p$

The first step in a problem like this, where there's the same variable on both sides, is to subtract the smaller variable from both sides. In this case, it is $0.20x$ . That would turn the equation into:

$7=5+0.10p$

After that, you must solve it like a regular two-step equation.

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

$2=0.10p$

Now, you must divide both sides by $0.10$ .

$\frac{2}{0.10}=\frac{0.10p}{0.10}$

That would give us:

$20=p$

This means that in order for the prices to be the same, the package must be 20 pounds.

Now in order to find the total cost, you must plug 20 into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which, since they both equal the same. I will plug it into the FedEx equation:

$t=5+0.30(20)$

Now you can just use a calculator and solve that or do it by hand. Multiply 0.30 by 20, to get 6, then add 5, which equals 11.

You should get: $t=11$ .

This means that the total cost, when the costs are the same for both FedEx and UPS, is $11.

Solve the following systems of equations by substitution method.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1) x = 3 and y = -2

2) x = 2 and y = 1

3) x = -2 and y = -1

4) x = 3 and y = 2

5) x = 2

6) x = 2 and y = -3

7) x = 4 and y = 3

8) x = -3 and y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Answer :

y = -2

4x - 3y = 18 ----(1)

Substitute y = -2 in (1).

4x - 3(-2) = 18

4x + 6 = 18

Subtract 6 from both sides.

4x = 12

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 3

So,

x = 3 and y = -2

2. Answer :

y = 6x - 11 ----(1)

2x + 3y = 7 ----(2)

Substitute y = 6x - 11 in (2).

2x + 3(6x - 11) = 7

2x + 18x - 33 = 7

20x - 33 = 7

Add 33 to both sides.

20x = 40

Divide both sides by 20.

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in (1).

y = 6(2) - 11

= 12 - 11

= 1

So,

x = 2 and y = 1

3. Answer :

x = -3y - 5 ----(1)

4x - 5y = -3 ----(2)

Substitute x = -3y + 5 in (2).

4(-3y - 5) - 5y = -3

-12y - 20 - 5y = -3

-17y - 20 = -3

Add 20 to both sides.

17y = -17

Divide both sides by 17.

y = -1

Substitute y = -1 in (1).

x = -3(-1) - 5

= 3 - 5

= -2

So,

x = -2 and y = -1

4. Answer :

x = 5y - 7 ----(1)

-2x - 3y = -12 ----(2)

Substitute x = 5y - 7 in (2).

-2(5y - 7) - 3y = -12

-10y + 14 - 3y = -12

-13y + 14 = -12

Subtract 14 from both sides.

-13y = -26

Divide both sides by -13.

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 in (1).

x = 5(2) - 7

= 10 - 7

= 3

So,

x = 3 and y = 2

5. Answer :

5x + 3y - 8 = 0 ----(1)

2x - 3y - 6 = 0 ----(2)

Solve for 3y in (1).

5x + 3y - 8 = 0

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3y - 8 = -5x

Add 8 to both sides.

3y = -5x + 8

Substitute 3y = -5x + 8 in (2).

2x - (-5x + 8) - 6 = 0

2x + 5x - 8 - 6 = 0

7x - 14 = 0

Add 14 to both sides.

7x = 14

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 2

6. Answer :

x - 3y - 11 = 0 ----(1)

5x + y - 7 = 0 ----(2)

Solve for x in (1).

x - 3y - 11 = 0

Subtract 3y and 11 to both sides.

x = 3y + 11 ----(3)

Substitute x = 3y + 11 in (2).

5(3y + 11) + y - 7 = 0

15y + 55 + y - 7 = 0

16y + 48 = 0

Subtract 48 from both sides.

16y = -48

Divide both sides by 16.

y = -3

Substitute y = -3 in (3).

x = 3(-3) + 11

= -9 + 11

= 2

So,

x = 2 and y = -3

7. Answer :

2x - 3y = -1 ----(1)

y = x - 1 ----(2)

Substitute y = x - 1 in (1).

2x - 3(x - 1) = -1

2x - 3x + 3 = -1

-x + 3 = -1

Subtract 3 from both sides.

-x = -4

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = 4

Substitute x = x in (3).

y = 4 - 1

= 3

So,

x = 4 and y = 3

8. Answer :

-4x + y = 6 ----(1)

-5x - y = 21 ----(2)

Solve for y in (1).

-4x + y = 6

Add 4x to both sides.

y = 4x + 6 ----(3)

Substitute y = 4x + 6 in (2).

-5x - (4x + 6) = 21

-5x - 4x - 6 = 21

-9x - 6 = 21

Add 6 to both sides.

-9x = 27

Divide both sides by -9.

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 in (3).

y = 4(-3) + 6

= -12 + 6

= -6

So,

x = -3 and y = -6
