Answer:
x = -1 y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3y = −4
x + 5y = −6
Multiply the first equation by -1
-x - 3y = 4
The add to the second equation to eliminate x
-x - 3y = 4
x + 5y = −6
--------------------
2y = -2
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -2/2
y = -1
Now solve for x
x+3y = -4
x +3(-1) = -4
x -3 = -4
Add 3 to each side
x-3+3 = -4+3
x = -1
Represent the number of days by x. With this representation, the variable cost of the rental is 31.67x. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable costs. This value should not be more than $500. The equation below shows the relationship.
130 + 31.67x ≤ 500
Solving for x gives x ≤ 11.68
Thus, the maximum number of days to rent the car is only 11 days.
In the given question, there are numerous information's already provided. It is important to note then down first. With the help of those given information's the required answer can be easily reached.
Percentage of students that weighed 140 pounds = 75 percent
Then
Percentage of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (100 - 75) percent
= 25 percent
Total number of students that were weighed = 40 students
Total number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (25/100) * 40
= (40/4) students
= 10 students
So the number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds is 10. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option "1".
