You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)
Answer: 6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Taylor cannot spend over $260.
Subtract the cost of the part needed for the repair:
= 260 - 80
= $180
$180 is left for fixing the car after buying the part.
As the labor costs $30 and now she cannot exceed $180 for labor, the total number of hours the mechanic can work is:
= 180 / 30
= 6 hours
The absolute value of 3 above par means any value more than the absolute value of 3. The absolute value of 3 is (+) 3 since an absolute value of a number cannot be negative. Above par means positive (+), so more than the specified value of 3. <span />
<span>Answer: a) Greater than or equal to 38 feet
b)Since there is no restriction on the perimeter there exists many possible values for the length of the deck.
Explanation: Given that the width of the deck is 29 ft.
and the perimeter of the deck is at least 134 ft.
134 = 2(length + width)
134 = (2 x length) + (2 x 29)
134 = (2 x length) + 58
2 x length = 134 - 58
2 x length = 76
length = 76 / 2
length = 38 ft
Thus, the inequality will be:
a)Length ≥ 38 ft
b)since there is no restriction on the perimeter there exists many possible values for length of deck.</span>
