Answer:

(3, -1)

x is 3

y is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x:

2x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides

2x= -y+5

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x-5= -y

Multiply both sides by 4

8x-20= -4y

5x+4y=11

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x= -4y+11

Subtract 11 from both sides

5x-11= -4y

Combine equations:

5x-11=8x-20

Subtract 5x from both sides

-11=3x-20

Add 20 to both sides

9=3x

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Solving for y:

2x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides

2x= -y+5

-y+5=2x

Multiply both sides by 5

-5y+25=10x

5x+4y=11

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x= -4y+11

-4y+11=5x

Multiply both sides by 2

-8y+22=10x

Combine equations:

-8y+22= -5y+25

Add 8y to both sides

22=3y+25

Divide both sides by 25

-3=3y

3y= -3

Divide both sides by 3

y= -1

Answer:

Part a) The y-intercept is the point (0,20) and the x-intercept is the point (10,0)

The graph in the attached figure

Part b) See the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions are

Part a) Find the intercepts and graph the function

Part b) What does each intercept represent?

Part a) Find the intercepts and graph the function

Let

x-----> the number of hamburgers

y ----> the number of hot dogs

we have

$3x+1.5y=30$

Remember that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For x=0

$3(0)+1.5y=30$

$1.5y=30$

$y=20\ hot\ dogs$

The y-intercept is the point (0,20)

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

For y=0

$3x+1.5(0)=30$

$3x=30$

$x=10\ hamburgers$

The x-intercept is the point (10,0)

Plot the intercepts and graph the line

see the attached figure

Part b) What does each intercept represent?

The x-intercept is the number of hamburgers they can buy if they buy no hot dogs

The y-intercept is the number of hot dogs they can buy if they buy no hamburgers

The Ratio of red jackets to blue jackets is 3 to 4. If there were 36 blue jackets in the closet, how many red jackets would be t

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 part of the ratio refers to 36 blue jackets.

Divide 36 by 4 to find the value of one part of the ratio

36 ÷ 4 = 9 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

3 parts = 3 × 9 = 27 ← number of red jackets
