Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2=4x-3

minus 3x from both sides

2=x-3

add 3 to both sides

x=5

1) A population of genetically modified

TiliK225 [7]

This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.

So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.

There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,470 represents Sal's profits last month, where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold.

5. Suppose Sal's total profit on lunch specials for the next month is $1,593. The profit amounts are the same: $2 for each sandwich and $3 for each wrap. In a paragraph of at least three complete sentences, explain how the graphs of the functions for the two months are similar and how they are different.

6. Below is a graph that represents the total profits for a third month. Write the equation of the line that represents this graph. Show your work or explain how you determined the equations.

QUESTION 1

The given system of equations is

$3d - e = 7...eqn(1)$
$d + e = 5...eqn(2)$

To solve by linear combination, we add equation (1) to equation (2) to get,

$3d + d= 7 + 5$

$4d = 12$

We divide through by 4 to obtain,

$d = \frac{12}{4}$

$d = 3$

We put d=3 into equation (2) to get,

$3+ e = 5$

$e = 5 - 3$

$e = 2$

$\boxed {The \: solution \: is \: (3, 2)}$

QUESTION 2

The given system is

4x + y = 5 ...eqn(1)

3x + y = 3 ...eqn(2)

To solve by linear combination, we subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to eliminate y from the equation.

This will give us,

$4x - 3x = 5 - 3$

This implies that,

$x = 2$

Put x=3 into equation (1) to get,

$4(2) + y = 5$

$8+ y = 5$

$y = 5 - 8$

$y = - 3$

The solution is

$(2,-3)$

QUESTION 3

We want to solve the system;

a – 2b = –2 ....eqn(1)

2a + 2b = 14...eqn(2)

by linear combination.

We need to add equation (1) to equation (2) to eliminate b.

This implies that,

$2a + a = 14 + - 2$

Simplify,

$3a = 12$

Divide both sides by 3 to get,

$a = 4$
Put a=4 into equation (2) to obtain,

$2(4) + 2b = 14$

$8 + 2b = 14$
$2b = 14 - 8$

$2b = 6$

$b = 3$

The ordered pair in the form (a, b) is

$(4,3)$

QUESTION 4

The given system of equations is

11x + 4y = 18 ...eqn(1)

3x + 4y = 2 ...eqn(2)

We subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to get,

$11x - 3x = 18 - 2$

$8x = 16$

$x = 2$

Put x=2 into equation (2) to obtain,

$3(2) + 4y = 2$

This implies that,

$6 + 4y = 2$

$4y = 2 - 6$

$4y = - 4$

$y=-1$

The correct answer is (2,-1).

QUESTION 5

The given system is ;

2d + e = 8...eqn1

d – e = 4...eqn2

We add the two equations to eliminate e.

This implies that,

$2d + d = 8 + 4$

$3d = 12$

We divide both sides by 3 to get,

$d = 4$

We put d=4 into equation (2) to get,

$4 - e = 4$

$- e = 4 - 4$

$- e = 0$

$e = 0$

The solution is

$(4,0)$
