I have the equations 8x + 3y = 20.50 and 4x + 5y = 22.50 How do I solve for x and y?

8x + 3y = 20.50
-
4x+5y=22.50
=
4x-2y=-2, so you have to divide each number by 2, then
2x-y=-1, so

-y=-1-2x /-1, y=1+2x, then replace it with one original equation like the first one for instance:
8x+3(1+2x)=20.50, then
8x+3+6x=20.50, then
14x=20.50-3
14x=17.5
x=1.25, then solve y:\
y=1+2*(1.25)
y=1+2.5
y=3.5,
So answer is x=1.25, and y=3.5

How do you work out 9/10 divided by 6/7??

Helga [31]

$\frac{9}{10} \div \frac{6}{7}$
You just flip 6/7 so it would be 7/6 and then you times it.
$\frac{9}{10} \div \frac{6}{7}$
$\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{63}{60} = \frac{21}{20}$

What is the following sum? Assume x greater-than-or-equal-to 0 and y greater-than-or-equal-to 0

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}$

Hence, ption B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}$

solving the expression

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}$

as

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}=xy\sqrt{y}$

$2\sqrt{x^3y^4}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}$

so the expression becomes

$\:\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=xy\sqrt{y}+2xy^2\sqrt{x}+xy\sqrt{y}$

Group like terms

$=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+xy\sqrt{y}+xy\sqrt{y}$

Add similar elements

$=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}$

Therefore, we conclude that:

$\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}$

Hence, option B is true.

The revenue for a company producing widgets is given by y = -20x2 - 50x + 200, where x is the price in dollars for each widget.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The price is x = $2.779

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The revenue is $y = - 20x^2 - 50 x + 200$

The cost of production is $y = 30 x - 10$

Generally at break even point the cost of production is equal to the revenue

So

$-20x^2 -50x + 200 = 30x-10$

=> $20x^2 +20 -210 = 0$

Using the quadratic formula to solve this equation we have that

x = $2.779
