Two beach rental companies compared their sales from last weekend. Both companies rent out jet skis and kayaks, and they charge

Answer:

To rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both shops charge the same amount for each kind of vehicle, we will assign variables to the their cost. The cost of a jet ski will be "x" and the cost of the kayak will be "y". Therefore we can create a system of equations as shown below:

Will's shop:

12*x + 9*y = 780

Fun Rentals:

7*x + 11*y = 570

\left \{ {{12x+ 9y=780} \atop {7x + 11y =570}} \right.\\

We can isolate "x" on the second equation, we have:

x = \frac{570 - 11y}{7}

Applying this value on the first equation:

12[\frac{570 - 11y}{7}] + 9y = 780\\\frac{6840 - 132y}{7} + 9y = 780\\\frac{6840 - 132y + 63y}{7} = 780\\ 6840 - 132y + 63y = 5460\\6840 - 69y = 5460\\69y = 1380\\y = 20

Applying the value of "y" we found on the "x" equation above, we have:x = \frac{570 - 11*20}{7}\\x = 50\\

Therefore to rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

Ilya [14]

Answer:

a₁ = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AP, where:

  • 8a₈ = 12a₁₂
  • d = -2,
  • a₁ = ?

=============

<h3>Solution</h3>

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

  • a₈ = a₁ + 7d = a₁ + 7*(-2) = a₁ - 14
  • a₁₂ = a₁ + 11d = a₁ + 11*(-2) = a₁ - 22

8a₈ = 12a₁₂

  • 8(a₁ - 14) = 12(a₁ - 22)
  • 2(a₁ - 14) = 3(a₁ - 22)
  • 2a₁ - 28 = 3a₁ - 66
  • 3a₁ - 2a₁ = -28 + 66
  • a₁ = 38
