Answer:
x=2 and y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step: Solvey=2x+3for y:
y=2x+3
Step: Substitute2x+3foryiny=3x+1:
y=3x+1
2x+3=3x+1
2x+3+−3x=3x+1+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)
−x+3=1
−x+3+−3=1+−3(Add -3 to both sides)
−x=−2
−x
−1
=
−2
−1
(Divide both sides by -1)
x=2
Step: Substitute2forxiny=2x+3:
y=2x+3
y=(2)(2)+3
y=7(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
1. $0.80 or 80 cents
2. 1.25 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.
1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):

2. To find how long a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00 is, substitute into the equation p = 1:

I believe that x=9. I used cross multiplication. First, I multiplied 6 by 15. Second, I divided this product of 90 by 10. The quotient is 9.
