Answer:
x=-4, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the first equation, y = -4x - 9, so we can substitute y in the second equation for -4x - 9.
y = 3x + 19
-4x - 9 = 3x + 19
Add 9 to both sides
-4x = 3x + 28
Subtract 3x
-7x = 28
Divide by -7
x = -4
Plugging this into the equation, we have:
y = -4x - 9
y = -4(-4) - 9
y = 16 - 9
y = 7
Total number of ways to make a pair:
The first player can be any one of 7 . For each of those . . .
The opponent can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total ways to make a pair = 7 x 6 = 42 ways .
BUT ... every pair can be made in two ways ... A vs B or B vs A .
So 42 'ways' make only (42/2) = 21 different pairs.
If every pair plays 2 matches, then (21 x 2) = <em><u>42 total matches</u></em> will be played.
Now, is that an elegant solution or what !
<u>Information:</u>
Fixed Cost = $32,634
Variable Cost = $8.75 per book.
Selling Price = $24.50 per book.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let x be the number of books sold.
<u>Construct Equation:</u>
For production cost to be equal auto money from sales:
⇒ 24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
<u>Solve x:
</u>
24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
Take away 8.75x from both sides:
15.75x = 32634
Divide both sides by 15.75:
x = 2072
Answer: The publisher must sell 2072 books.

Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Make 2x the only variable on the left side of the equation. Do that by taking 3 and 5 to the left. Note: if you move/transpose any number the sign must change.
2x = 18+5-3
2x=20
Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to make x the only variable left.
x=10
