Answer:

(2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations

x-3y=-4-------------------------------(1)

y=-3x+8.------------------------------(2)

Substitute 2 in 1. This means use the value of y in equation 1, to replace y

x-3(-3x+8)=-4------------------open brackets

x+9x-24=-4---------------------collect like terms

10x=-4+24

10x=20---------------------------divide by 10 both sides to get value of x

10x/10=20/10=2

x=2------------------------------use value of x in equation (2) to get value of y

y=-3x+8

y=-3(2)+8

y=-6+8=2

solutions

x=2, y=2

butalik [34]

The number of rotations for the new wheel will be 1,056 rotations

<h3>How to calculate the circumference of a wheel?</h3>

Let the initial circumference be 50 rotations (assumed)

If the number of rotations of the circumference of the tires were increased by 20%, then the new circumference will be:

Ne circumference = 1.2 * 50 = 60

number of rotations for the new wheel = 63360/60
number of rotations for the new wheel = 1,056 rotations

Hence the number of rotations for the new wheel will be 1,056 rotations

goldenfox [79]

Answer: She spend $1.20 for lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be 'x'.

Half of her money spend for lunch be $\dfrac{x}{2}$

Half of her money left for a movie be $\dfrac{x}{2}$

Amount she has now = $1.20

So, According to question, it becomes ,

$\dfrac{x}{2}=1.20\\\\x=1.20\times 2\\\\x=\$2.40$

Hence, Amount she spend for lunch is $\dfrac{x}{2}=\dfrac{2.40}{2}=\$1.20$

Therefore, she spend $1.20 for lunch.
