Hello!
To find this ordered pair, we solve for x and y and put them together in an ordered pair.
-4+y=8
x-5y=17
Let's solve the first equation for y.
y= 12
Now, let's plug 12 into the second equation for y.
x-5(12)=17
x-60=17
x=77
Therefore, our ordered pair is (77,12)
I hope this helps!
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:yes they do
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x ≥ 1 (how to graph is listed below)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find where we need to plot the line, we first need to solve the inequality for x:
-2x - 3 ≤ -5
(Add three to both sides)
-2x ≤ -2
(Divide both sides by -2, but we can't forget that whenever we multiple or divide by a negative number, the sign flips!)
x ≥ 1
To graph this on the number line, you would put a dot on the 1 and fill it in completely (you fill in the dot for a "___ and equal to" sign. ex. ≥, ≤)
Then you would make an arrow from the dot to the right on the number line (this is because x must be greater than or equal to 1, so it must be facing in that direction)
The "dot product" of two vectors has several different formulas.
Since you are given the x- and y-coordinates of both vectors a and b, we can apply the formula
a dot b = ax*bx + ay*by, where ax=x-component of vector a, by=y comp of vector b, and so on.
So, for the problem at hand, ax * bx + ay * by becomes
3(-2) + (-8)(-6) = -6 + 48 = 42 (answer). Note that the dot product (or "scalar product" is itself a scalar.
