2x + y = 20

y = 20 - 2x

Substitute into second equation:

6x - 5(20-2x) = 12

6x -100 +10x = 12

16x = 112

x = 7

Plug back into first equation:

2(7) + y = 20

14 +y = 20

y = 6

Answer is x = 7 and y = 6

2x + y = 20

6x - 5y = 20


2x + y = 20

Subtract 2x on both sides to get "y" by itself, so you can later substitute it into the second equation.

2x + y - 2x = 20 - 2x

y = 20 - 2x


6x - 5y = 12

6x - 5(20 - 2x) = 12   Multiply 5 into (20 - 2x)

6x - 100 + 10x = 12    Combine like terms

16x - 100 = 12     Add 100 on both sides  

16x - 100 + 100 = 12 + 100

16x = 112    Divide 16 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 7

Plug in x into either of the original equations to find y.

2x + y = 20

2(7) + y = 20

14 + y = 20

y = 6


x = 7, y = 6

A swimming pool is being drained so it can be cleaned. The amount of water in the pool is changing according to the función f(t)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function f(t), t is the independent variable. The domain of f is the set of all values of t that this function can accept.

In this case, f(t) is defined in a real-life context. Hence, consider the real-life constraints on the two variables. Both time and volume should be non-negative. In other words,

  • t \ge 0.
  • f(t) \ge 0.

The first condition is an inequality about t, which is indeed the independent variable.

However, the second condition is about f, the dependent variable of this function. It has to be rewritten as a condition about t.

\begin{aligned} f(t) &\ge 0 &&\text{Assumption} \cr 80000 - 16000\, t& \ge 0 && \text{Definition of} ~ f \cr 80000 & \ge 16000\, t && \begin{aligned}&\text{Add $16000\, t$} \\[-0.5em] & \text{to both sides of the inequality}\end{aligned} \cr 5 &\ge t &&\begin{aligned}&\text{Divide both sides of} \\[-0.5em] & \text{the inequality by $16000$}\end{aligned} \cr t &\le 5 && \text{Flip the inequality}\end{aligned}.

Hence, t ≤ 5.

Combine the two inequalities to obtain the domain:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Write an equation of a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 3y=x+6 and that passes through the point (-3,4).
Monica [59]
The standard form of this equation is

y=\frac{1}{3}x+2

The slope of two parallel lines i the same, so the slope of the line we're looking for is also \frac{1}{3}

Since the line passes through (-3,4), the equation is:

(y-4)=\frac{1}{3}(x+3)

\boxed{y=\frac{1}{3}x+5}
