Answer:
(2, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of different ways to do this, but I am going to use substitution since we already have one of those equations solved for y. If y=3x+2, then we can sub 3x+2 in for y in the other equation:
-3x + 2(3x + 2) = 10 and
-3x + 6x + 4 = 10 and
3x + 4 = 10 and
3x = 6 so
x = 2. Now that we know x = 2, we can sub a 2 in for x in either equation to solve for y:
y = 3x + 2 gives us, with the substitution, y = 3(2) + 2 so y = 8. The solution set is (2, 8)
Answer: 41.58$
Step-by-step explanation:
7 gallons of pure acid and 14 gallons of 10% acid
use distributive property
0.5 x -10 = -5
0.5 x k = 0.5k
0.5(-10 + k) = 0.5k -5
