Consider the system of equations. x – 3y = 9 1/5x - 2y = -1

1 answer:

5 0

<span> x – 3y = 9 ------------ (1)
1/5x - 2y = -1---------- (2)

(1):
x - 3y = 9
x = 9 + 3y ----------- (1a)

(2):
</span>1/5x - 2y = -1
x - 10y = -5 --------- (2a)

Sub (1a) into (2a):
9 + 3y - 10y = -5
9 - 7y = -5
-7y = -5 - 9
-7y = -14
7y = 14
y = 2 ---------- Sub into (1a)

x = 9 + 3y
x = 9 + 3(2)
x = 9 + 6
x = 15

Ans: x = 15, y = 2

tester [92]

Answer:

The expression giving her net earnings for a day with more than 8 hours worked is X = 80 + 15H, where H means "extra hours worked".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Daisy works at an ice-cream parlor earning $10 per hour for the first 8 hours she works in a day, and 1.5 times her hourly wage for every extra hour she works, in order to know how much can she make in a day working more than 8 hours the following equation has to be made:

X = (8 x 10) + (H x (1.5 x 10))

X = 80 + 15H

Therefore, if Daisy works 13 hours, the equation works as follows:

X = 80 + 15x13

X = 80 + 195

X = 275
