Answer:

  (4, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Substitution</u>

Using the second equation, we can substitute for y in the first equation.

  4x -(2x-2) = 10

  2x +2 = 10 . . . . simplify

  x +1 = 5 . . . . . . .divide by 2

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

  y = 2(4) -2) = 6 . . . . substitute for x in the equation for y

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 6).

__

<u>Elimination</u>

Often, we like to start with both equations in standard form when we solve by elimination. That is nice, but not completely necessary.

We can eliminate the y-variable by simply adding the two given equations.

  (4x -y) +(y) = (10) +(2x -2)

  4x = 8 + 2x . . . . . collect terms. The y-variable has been eliminated.

  2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Y can be found using the second equation.

  (x, y) = (4, 6)

__

We could have eliminated the x-variable by multiplying the second equation by 2, then adding the two equations.

  (4x -y) +2(y) = (10) +2(2x -2)

  y = 6 . . . . . . . . . subtract 4x from both sides. The x-variable has been eliminated.

Now, x can be found using either equation.

  6 = 2x -2 . . . substitute for y in the second equation

  3 = x - 1 . . . divide by 2

  x = 4 . . . . . add 1

  (x, y) = (4, 6)

Solve for x: -4x - 12 &lt; 12
aliina [53]

Seems like you are an imposter ;). This is Middle School math.

Anyways...

Answer:

x>6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x-12<12

Add 12 on both sides.

-4x<24

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x. Remember that if you are dividing by a negative, flip the sign!

x>6

Hope this helps!

Marguerite wants to rent a carpet cleaner. Company A rents a carpet cleaner for $15 per day. Company B rents a carpet cleaner fo
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

If Marguerite rents for 2 weeks, it will cost her less if she rents from Company B

If Marguerite rents for 1 week, it will cost her the same at either company

h(x) = 5x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Marguerite wants to rent a carpet cleaner. Company A rents a carpet cleaner for $15 per day. Company B rents a carpet cleaner for $100 per week, with a one-time fee of $5. The following functions represent the rate structures of the two rental companies: x = the number of weeks Company A f(x) = 15(7x) Company B g(x) = 100x + 5 The function h(x) = f(x) – g(x) represents the difference between the two rate structures. Determine which statements about h(x) and about renting a carpet cleaner are true. Check all that apply. If Marguerite rents for 2 weeks, it will cost her more if she rents from Company B. If Marguerite rents for 2 weeks, it will cost her less if she rents from Company B. If Marguerite rents for 1 week, it will cost her the same at either company. If Marguerite rents for 1 week, it will cost her more if she rents from Company A. h(x) = 5x – 5 h(x) = 5x + 5

Answer: Company A rents a carpet cleaner for $15 per day. Company B rents a carpet cleaner for $100 per week, with a one-time fee of $5. In one week there are 7 days, therefore in x weeks the cost of rentals are given below:

For company A: f(x) = 15(7x)

For company B: g(x) = 100x + 5  

h(x) = f(x) – g(x) represents the difference between the two rate structures.

h(x) = f(x) - g(x) = 15(7x) - (100x + 5)

h(x) = 105x - 100x - 5

h(x) = 5x - 5

If Marguerite rents for 2 weeks:

The cost for company A = 15(7x) = 15(7 × 2) = $210

The cost for company B = 100x + 5 = 100(2) + 5 = 200 + 5 = $205

If Marguerite rents for 2 weeks, it will cost her less if she rents from Company B

If Marguerite rents for 1 weeks:

The cost for company A = 15(7x) = 15(7 × 1) = $105

The cost for company B = 100x + 5 = 100(1) + 5 = 100 + 5 = $105

If Marguerite rents for 1 week, it will cost her the same at either company
