Answer:
(x, y) = (3.5, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Elimination is easiest if one of the coefficients of a variable is a multiple of the other coefficient of the variable. Here, we have x-coefficients of 4 and 8, so it will be easiest to eliminate x.
Subtract the second equation from 2 times the first.
2(4x +7y) -(8x +5y) = 2(-14) -(8)
9y = -36 . . . . . simplify
y = -4 . . . . . . . divide by 9
4x +7(-4) = -14 . . . . substitute for y in the first equation
4x = 14 . . . . . . . add 28
x = 3.5 . . . . divide by 4
The solution is (x, y) = (3.5, -4).
Answer:
m = 2500b
Step-by-step explanation:
As instructed,
let b = number of boxes sold
let m = total money made.
The total money made, is a function of the number of boxes sold.
Let me break this down:
There are 100 pencils in a box;
if they sold only one box, they will get 100 X $25 = $2500;
if they sold two boxes, they will get 200 X $25 = $5000;
if they sold three boxes, they will get 300 X $25 = $7500;
Following the trend, we can deduce that money made, m = (number of boxes sold X 100 ) X $25
representing this using the variables we were given, we have
m = 100b X 25
hence
m = 2500b
To change from percent to decimal, move the decimal place to the left two times. In this case the decimal is after the 75. so the decimal is .75 To write .75 as a fraction put 75/100 because it is in the hundredths place. Reduce by dividing both parts by 25. the fraction is 3/4
Hope that helped! if you don't get it ask and ill re explain!
Answer:
Please look at the image
From the info 2 jars with 106 sprinkles each, we know 1 jar would have 53 sprinkles.
1 jar has 53 sprinkles.
6 jars have 318 sprinkles because:
6 × 53 = 318
13 jars have 689 sprinkles because:
13 × 53 = 689
