Answer:
(-5.77, 6.46)
Step-by-step explanation:
15x + 9y = 45 ----------- i
9x + 8y = 12----------------ii
Multiply equation i by 9 the coefficient of x in equ ii
And equation ii by 15 the coefficient of x in equ I
9 x 15x + 9y = 45 ----------- i
15 x 9x + 8y = 12----------------ii
135x+81y = 405
135x+120y= 180
Subtract equation ii from I
135x-135x+81y-(+120y)= 405-180
-39y=225
y = 225/-39 = -5.77
Insert the value of y in equ i
15x + 9y = 45
15x+9(-5.77) = 45
15x-51.92=45
15x = 45+51.92
15x= 96.92
x = 96.92/15= 6.46
(x,y) = (-5.77, 6.46)
x = 6.92/15
Answer:
MU/P has decreased and Callum should buy less of the good.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance traveled in the first hour = 50 miles
Distance traveled in the second hour = 72 miles
Distance traveled in the third hour = 46 miles
Total distance = 50 + 72 + 46 = 168 miles
23 miles = 1 gallon
168 ÷ 23 = 7.30 gallons (nearest hundredth)
Answer: 7.30 gallons
Because then you can replace the variables with the actual value and see of the equation is true.
