They are equal to one another because 4(3+x) can be rewritten using the distributive property as 4(3)+4x or 3+3+3+3+x+x+x+x
Answer:
x = 4 , y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 14 → (1)
x + y = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 2x - 2y = - 10 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (2) and evaluate for y
4 + y = 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
y = 1
Answer:
Total charge
=
$
4.25
+
$
1.50
(
m
−
1
)
Total charge for 12 miles
=
$
20.75
Explanation:
Building the rule
The trick with algebra is to think what you would do with numbers, then substitute letters.
Mile number 1 costs
$
4.25
The rest of the miles
⇒
(
total miles
−
1
)
×
$
1.50
Putting this all together we have:
$
4.25
+
(
total miles
−
1
)
×
$
1.50
The question instructs that we are to use the letter m for the total miles so we now have:
$
4.25
+
(
m
−
1
)
×
$
1.50
This would be written as:
$
4.25
+
$
1.50
(
m
−
1
)
So
Total charge
=
$
4.25
+
$
1.50
(
m
−
1
)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Determine the charge for 12 miles
Total charge
=
$
4.25
+
$
1.50
(
12
−
1
)
Total charge
=
$
4.25

$
1.50
(
11
)
Total charge for 12 miles
=
$
4.25
+
$
16.50
=

Answer:
1. y=5/2x+4
2. y=-7x-3
Y=mx+b is slope intercept form
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to add it in the slope intercept formula
2. M=-7 and B=-3
so y=-7x-3
M = 5/2 B = 4
So y = 5/2x+4
He used an incorrect time ratio converting hours to minutes.
