(3.75, 5.5)
(Work is attached )
When using substitution , you substitute with a variable that is already by itself. In this case, the variable “y” is already by itself and equal to x+ 1.75 . you substitute that for the the y in the other equation and solve for the other variable which is “x”. After you solve for x , to find your y value, you have to substitute the x value in for either equation.
B
First you have to change 2 1/2 into 5/2
To multiply fractions use the method
Keep Change Flip
5/2 x 3/1 =15/2
Which simplifies to 7 1/2
Every rational expression can be written in infinitely many equvialent forms which is 3/3n-15/2.
X=$20/$4
x=5 gallons
x is the amount of gallons.
1 gallon=32 miles
5 gallons=160 miles
Margie can drive 160 miles on $20 of gas
The equation:
y - y 1 = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2- x1) * ( x - x1 )
y - ( - 5 ) = ( 4 + 5 ) / ( - 5 + 7 ) * ( x - ( - 7 ) )
y + 5 = 9/2 ( x + 7 )
y + 5 = 9/2 x + 63 /2 / * 2
2 y + 10 = 9 x + 63
- 9 x + 2 x = 53
Answer:
C ) y + 5 = 9/2 ( x + 7 ) ; - 9 x + 2 y = 53
