Answer:

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers,  

x

,

y

. We know two things about them:

2

x

+

y

=

25

3

x

−

y

=

20

Let's add these two equations together which will cancel the  

y

:

5

x

+

0

y

=

45

x

=

45

5

=

9

We can now substitute in the  

x

value into one of the original equations (I'll do both) to get to  

y

:

2

x

+

y

=

25

2

(

9

)

+

y

=

25

18

+

y

=

25

y

=

7

3

x

−

y

=

20

3

(

9

)

−

y

=

20

27

−

y

=

20

Answer and explanation please.

The x would equal 6 because if you substitue 6 for x and 2 for y, when you add them, it will be 8. Divide that by 2 and it will result in 4. And if you subtract 2 from 6, your answer will still be 4.

x+y/2
Substitute 6 for x and 2 for y
6+2/2
Add 6 and 2
8/2
Divide
Final Answer: 4

6-2
Subtract
Final Answer: 4

Since both of the answers result in 4, that is what makes x=6 and y=2 true.

A DVD was priced at $2.87 last week. This week the same DVD is priced at $10.59. What is the percent increase in price?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Percentage increase = 269%

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of a DVD last week = $2.87

Price of the same DVD this week = $10.59

Increase in the price of DVD between last week and this week = 10.59 - 2.87

= $7.72

Therefore, percentage increase in the price of DVD = \frac{\text{Increase in the price}}{\text{Price of DVD last week}}\times 100

= \frac{7.72}{2.87}\times 100

= 268.99

= 269%

If a baseball player hits a baseball from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, how long will it
AleksAgata [21]
Right now that equation is a function of time, h(t), height with respect to time.  If the baseball is on the ground, it has no height.  In other words, its height = 0.  So if we set the equation equal to 0 and solve for t, time, that will tell us the time that the ball had a height of 0.  If you plug those numbers into the quadratic formula, which is the best and most efficient way to factor a quadratic, you will get that the times are -.0615528128 and 4.061552813 seconds.  The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length.  So we know that the ball will not hit the ground at -.062 seconds.  Therefore, it hits the ground 4.06 seconds after it was hit.
