Let's say you have the equation
5x + 3y = 11
You are asked to test the ordered pair (1, 2) to see if it is a solution of the equation. A solution of the equation will make the equation a true statement. The ordered pair (1, 2) has 1 as its x-coordinate and 2 as its y-coordinate.
Substitute 1 for x and 2 for y in the equation. Then work it out to see if it is a true statement.
5x + 3y = 11
5(1) + 3(2) = 11
5 + 6 = 11
11 = 11
Since 11 = 11 is a true statement, the ordered pair (1, 3) is a solution of the equation.
Let's forget for the tie being the cost ($3.5)of the 1st fifth of a mile:
Taxi charge excluding $3.5, is $13.95 - $3.5 = $10.45.
If each of the 5th (1/5) of a mile costs $0.55, then with $10.45 we can drive:
10.45/0.55 = 19 fifth of a mile. Add to that the 1st fifth = 20 fifth of a mile
20 fifth = 20 x 1/5 = 4 miles (answer)
Answer:
(5,26)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Mitchell needs to sell 120 stoves for the options to be equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Company A gives Mitchell $12000 salary plus $150 commission per stove selling and Company B is offering Mitchell $24000 salary plus $50 commission per stove selling.
So, if Mitchell sells x number of stoves such that both the plans become equal, then we can write
12000 + 150x = 24000 + 50x
⇒ 100x = 12000
⇒ x = 120
Therefore, Mitchell needs to sell 120 stoves for the options to be equal. (Answer)
