Answer:
4:1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+20 : y+20 = 5 : 2
(x+20)/(y+20) = 5/2
2(x+20) = 5(y+20)
2x+40 = 5y+100
2x = 5y+60 (1)
x-5 : y-5 = 5:1
(x-5)/(y-5) = 5/1
x-5 = 5(y-5)
x-5 = 5y-25
x = 5y-20 (2)
Solve (1) & (2) simultaneously,
2(5y-20) = 5y+60
10y-40 = 5y+60
5y = 100
y = 20
x = 5y-20
x = 5(20)-20 = 100-20
x = 80
x:y
80:20
4:1
When using substitution, we are imputing an equation in place of a variable to eliminate one of the variables in the equation so that we can solve for the remaining variable.
For this example, we will be plugging in (-4y+12) wherever "x" is in the other equation.
3/4 x -5y = 7
3/4(-4y+12) -5y =7
((3/4)(-4y))+((3/4)12)-5y=7
-3y+9-5y=7
-8y= -2
y=(1/4)
Now find "x" by plugging in the y-value.
x=(-4*(1/4))+12
x= -1 +12
x=11

Well for 1.4 will be 1, 2.2 will be 2, 0.7 will be 1, 3.9 will be 4, and 1.8 is 2

We first find the lines of the motion of each truck, then calculate its intercept.
Garbage truck:
m = (12 - 4) / (5 - 3)
m = 4
4 - y = 4(3 - x)
4x - y = 8
Dump truck:
m = (33 + 3) / (-4 - 5)
m = -4
33 - y = -4(-4 - x)
4x + y = 17
Adding the two equations to solve them, we get:
8x = 25
x = 25 / 8
y = 17 - 4(25/8)
y = 17 - 25/2
y = 9/2
The trucks' point of intersection is (25/8,9/2)
