Solve this system of equations by elimination: 8x+9y=48 12x+5y=21

Answer:

Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.

8x+9y=48;12x+5y=21

Steps:

Multiply the first equation by 5,and multiply the second equation by -9.

5(8x+9y=48)

−9(12x+5y=21)

Becomes:

40x+45y=240

−108x−45y=−189

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−68x=51

Then solve−68x=51for x:

−68x /−68 = 51 /−68  (Divide both sides by -68)

x=  −3 /4

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

8x+9y=48

Substitute

−3 /4

8x+9y=48:

8( −3 /4 )+9y=48

9y−6=48 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

9y−6+6=48+6 (Add 6 to both sides)

9y=54

9y /9  =  54 /9  (Divide both sides by 9)   y=6

<em><u>Answer:  x=  −3 /4  and y=6</u></em>

Hope This Helps!  Have A Nice Day!!

How do you divide $306 into the ratio of 9:5:3? Can someone give me some advice on how to solve this problem?
GarryVolchara [31]
In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

Write an equation in point slope form that passes through the point (1,8) &amp; slope of -3 show all work
densk [106]

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where: x1 = 1 y1 = 8 (given point (1,8) and m = -3

y - (8) = -3 (x - (1))

y - 8 = -3 (x-1)

y- 8 = -3x +1

A company manufactirung snowboards has fixed costs of $200 per day and total cost of $3800 per day at a daily output of 20 board
polet [3.4K]
A. The cost per 20 boards is 3800. so each board costs 3800/20 or $190. So the cost equation is C(x) = 200 + 190x

B. Divide the cost function by x. C(x)/x = 200/x + 190

C. The graph will be a curve that starts at (1,390) and curves down and to the right. Your last point will be at (30, 200/30+190) Your asymptote will be the horizontal line at 190 because as x tends to infinity, the term 200/x goes to zero. (There is also a vertical asymptote at x = 0 because you can't divide by zero, but your graph won't include x=0)

D. The average cost tends to 190 which was your horizontal asymptote.
